Privileges Meme
Jan. 5th, 2008 12:50 am( Cut for your sanity, as I added lots of anecdotes )
This was a great trip down memory lane. Regarding the true meaning of the meme, it only reinforces what I learned as a young girl coming to terms with class and privilege: my family is the typical middle-working class who has nice things that they have worked really hard for. I was taught the value of a dollar and the value of a hundred and a thousand dollars simultaneously (although if someone would like to teach me the value of a million dollars I'm all yours). If there is one thing that I give full and complete credit to my parents for it is the time and effort that they have spent on raising my sister and I. We were never pushed into something that we weren't interested and our hobbies were always encouraged with care and good counsel.
