I personally feel very privileged. I'm white in the United States on the west coast so I've never really had to personally deal with racism or prejudice. My parents were middle to upper middle class most of my life so I never really had any difficult times growing up. My parents enjoyed sharing things with us and spending time with us so I had a reasonably good family growing up. We lived in places with good facilities and public schools so I had enjoyable times and good schooling when I was growing up. I also was able to go to college at a very nice state university for a very low amount of money that was funded by my parents so I had a great foundation for the rest of my life. I have never been the victim of physical violence so I haven't had to deal with reactions to that and none of my family has had to deal with any majorly traumatic situations during my lifetime. I have never had to fight in a war and have never had any family members killed or injured in a war. My jobs have given me the chance to travel internationally every once in a while so I've been able to visit some amazing places and meet some interesting people.
I'm amazed at what I've been able to experience and hope to continue to be amazed with what happens in the rest of my life.
