The option I chose was the "How Privileged are you checklist". I went through the list and checked many of the boxes. According to my results I checked more boxes than 73% of quiz takers. I checked 61/100 of the boxes. Which states that I am quite privileged. I've never thought of myself of being privileged but according to the checklist I am. I've had a few struggles, but overall my life has been far easier than most. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. But it also means that I should be aware of my advantages and work to help others who don't have them. I have never considered myself privileged after looking at the checklist I may have to rethink what privileged really means. Growing up I was repeatedly ridiculed for my weight even though I was in now way heavy. I think it has lead to my unrealistic view of my self. I have gotten better the older I get but it has been a struggle to see myself as others see me. My hope is that I can help my students so the same and not have a negative view of themselves.
