What priviliges do I possess?

1. Iam privileged to what every girl yearns to have- the basic mannerisms of gentlemen. Being a woman really gives you an advantage we have the power to veto if we please I mean we women are like the backbone what would happen without us?
2. I am privileged to attend my professors office hours when help is needed. I am not afraid to ask for help as a matter of fact I think I ask for too much assistance-but I just like to make sure I get the job done right and I think office hours are such an advantage you can go if you don’t feel comfortable talking about your problems in class you can develop a better relationship with your professor your professor can see that your trying and your grade will soon reflect. A win win situation.
3. I am privileged to fulfill my mother’s dream by attending the University of Oklahoma. My mother wanted to attend this school when she was in college but she had to attend Langston University instead because that was the only collge accessible to blacks but since change has evolved over the years I am now granted the opportunity to attend the college of my dreams and the college of OUR dreams.
4. I am privileged to participate in different campus activities. There once was a time when blacks did not have the right to do such a thing to get together and work as a people.
5. I am privileged with the opportunity to have strong willed women in my life-my mother is my rock she is so strong willed and she overcame so many obstacles her life and she still has a smile on her face at the end of the day and I admire and love her so much for that for the simple fact the she can say all is well even when we all knew things were pretty cloudy she kept her faith and her preservation.

  1. I particularly enjoy number 3: We all made it here. We all achieved our dreams of higher education. While some probably had a harder time achieving this goal than others, we're all here.

    I make a point in my blog entry to show that we all share the same privileges despite the race divisions that we impose on our predicaments. We can all sit in the same classroom wherever we want, and hardly anyone is being turned down from an education because of their blackness.

    I just feel like we're moving past the point where we can use race as a crutch for our shoddy predicament. Race divisions still exist, but for the most part, we are all capable of being upper, middle, and lower class. Horray capitalism.
