I took the quiz "How Privileged Are You?" I check 61/100 of the options. The description states "You're quite privileged. You've had a few struggles, but overall your life has been far easier than most. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. But you should be aware of your advantages and work to help others who don't have them." As I have gone through the different stages of life it has become more and more apparent that because of the family I was born into, and the choices my parents made for me growing up, that I was definitely at an advantage in some areas of life. The part of this quiz that resonated with me the most was the part where it says that is not something to be ashamed of. I do think there are several times in my life where I felt guilty for not struggling to get to where I was. The transition from growing up in an affluent community to a large university was very eye opening to me in this regard. I think the difference is what you do with that privilege, and I work every day to help those who have to work for things that were just inherently part of my life.
