    Before taking this quiz I had already known that I grew up very privileged and am still privileged today. Going through the checklist it became even more apparent to me just how privileged I am. I feel like because of this privilege I have gained a lot of empathy for many of the students that I have taught throughout the years. It is so unfair for anyone to have to experience some of the items on that checklist, but I especially always think about my students and other children who have had to or are currently experiencing some of these things. I feel like this is why it is so important to learn about what we can do to recognize that there are groups of people who experience this every day and to try and learn how to best acknowledge this and help these marginalized groups of people.
