An aspect of my identity that i value the most is my ability to do anything i put my mind to. Like me being able to play multiple sports, me being able to make the impossible possible, and being able to complete things i wasn’t able to complete in the first place.


The meaning of being privileged to me means to be able to have the right to do things. Some people have more privilege because they are able to do more things than other people. Some people aren’t able to do a lot of things because they don’t have the privilege to do certain things.


I think Critical consciousness is when you can acknowledge social forces society…

  1. One important part of who I am is my determination. I don't easily give up, especially when faced with challenges. I value this quality because even if I fail at something, I know I can succeed with effort and persistence. However, I also recognize that there are limits to how much I should push myself, as going beyond those limits could have negative consequences for me and those around me. An example of my determination is when I wanted to improve in martial arts. I practiced regularly, regardless of the weather, and focused on styles and techniques that suited me. I believe in pushing through difficulties to become better and eventually reach my goals.

  2. Being privileged means having…

  1. What I value the most about my identity is my Ethnicity. I’m African American and I love the things that come with being it. The different foods from other cultures/ethnicities and the different types of hair styles I get to do with my hair. Also my personality is what makes me interesting.Everyone is different but my personality facilitates all the important moments in my life and is what I am or we be remembered for

  2. What privileged means is when someone who is privileged has an advantage or opportunity that most other people do not have. For example Some people have more Money than others meaning they can buy stuff some people can’t get. That’s what being privileged…

  1. An aspect of my identity that I value greatly would definitely be my background and ethnicity. I take great pride in who I am and where I came from. My background plays a huge role in my life and my daily activities. I have my own cultural background that defines me as a person. I have my own traditions that make me, me. I grew up in a Moroccan house hold, so I grew up eating Moroccan food and living a Moroccan lifestyle.

  2. To be privileged to me means you get opportunities that many others don't. This can apply to status. Take a wealthy family as an example. Their kids would have no worries getting into college, nor…
