my ID and my access

I honestly think that my identity has a direct impact on my access to education. Whenever I think about my personal access to education and how my intersecting identities give me privilege. I had the privilege of growing up in a community where education was always put first. I lived in a household with college educated parents who were able to help me with my studies and educational inquiries as I progressed through school. I always like to consider issues as a matter of class, and race/other identities are mediators that show greater issues in our society. Although I experience many barriors with my access to education because of my racial identity, my class privilege allowed me to move fluidly in the American school system. Having parents who could help me with my college applications when it was time to enroll was a privilege. Going to a high school that had a sufficient amount of college counselors, academic resources, and other educational support systems was a privilege. Aside from the several issues I experienced with establishing my identity while being the only Black student in my class I really had a lot of class privilege in my identity that really aided my access to education in my life.
