I grew up poor white trash. I have no privilege other than the fact I am really funny and smart.
I didn't want to raise my kids in the poverty I often experienced. And being white trash and poor at what was at the time a good HS with a lot of money, meant I was seen as lesser.
Oh well. I worked my ass off and eventually got a Masters. I speak 4 languages.

Both languages and sign language I try to brush up on every few months to stay conversational. Netflix has been great in helping with that
