  • What Is Cultural Reflection Essay

    791 Words  | 2 Pages

    I get that it is not all about money, but my family does identify with the upper-middle class, which allows me to have a lot of resources and privileges. I have always had access to really good and affordable health care, something that I never thought about until now and definitely take advantage of it. I never have to worry about going to the doctors when I feel ill, as I know I am covered by insurance and can afford to do so. The care I receive too is always top of the line and some of the best doctors available. I also have always had access to education. I went to pre-school to begin with and then 12 years of public schooling and now college. I am extremely thankful that my family can afford to send me to college, as I am well aware that that is something that tons of people do not get to do. With that being said, I am not eligible for any scholarships as my family is stated to make too much money. I do understand that a lot of people cannot afford it and need those scholarships, but I have always had a hard time with that since my family has a lot of other expenses and could use the money too to help pay with my college. I feel really guilty typing that, but I also get really frustrated that I am not eligible for any scholarships due to how I identify. Continuing on, identifying with the class I do, I do strive to work as hard as I can so that I can continue to have

    Horses have always played an important role in my life, but it wasn’t until I decided to pursue competitive show jumping that I realized the time, dedication, and money required to partake in the sport.
