What Privileges Do You Have?

I am thinking about having my students do this in intro soc this semester. From the list below, I have bolded those which apply to me. [Edit: I have bolded and changed the color of those that apply, since you can't see bold on my blog].

1. Father went to college
2. Father finished college
3. Mother went to college
4. Mother finished college
5. Have any relative who is an attorney, physician, or professor
6. Were the same or higher class than your high school teachers
7. Had more than 50 books in your childhood home
8. Had more than 500 books in your childhood home
9. Were read children’s books by a parent. (Not that I recall....)
10. Had lessons of any kind before you turned 18
11. Had more than two kinds of lessons before you turned 18
12. The people in the media who dress and talk like me are portrayed positively. (Now that I'm not dressing completely in black all the time. But then, there's the whole "female" thing...)
13. Had a credit card with your name on it before you turned 18. (Freshman year of college, I succumbed to the many credit card tables. I wanted the free t-shirt :) )
14. Your parents (or a trust) paid for the majority of your college costs. (Not officially, but my dad sent me his child support payments directly, rather than send it to my mom.)
15. Your parents (or a trust) paid for all of your college costs.
16. Went to a private high school.
17. Went to summer camp.
18. Had a private tutor before you turned 18.
19. Family vacations involved staying at hotels (We went to Florida when I was in middle school. That was so much fun.)
20. Your clothing was all bought new before you turned 18. (Up until somewhere around high school, when I decided Goodwill was cool. But even my younger sister had new clothes. No hand-me-downs.)
21. Your parents bought you a car that was not a hand-me-down from them. (I bought my own first car from a car auction for $600. My second car was $60 from my aunt & uncle)
22. There was original art in your house when you were a child. (Does art made by me count?)
23. You and your family lived in a single-family house. (Apartments, mostly. But there were years we lived in trailers, and one year we shared a single-family house with another family. Does that count?)
24. Your parent(s) owned their own house or apartment before you left home. (No, but they both own their own homes now.)
25. You had your own room as a child. (shared with my sister.)
26. You had a phone in your room before you turned 18. (I don't remember. I didn't talk on the phone.)
27. Participated in a SAT/ACT prep course.
28. Had your own TV in your room in high school. (Oh, I still fondly remember the day my grandparents got us that television for Christmas! It had a separate button for each channel, which shows my age :) . We still had that tv when I was in high school, I think.)
29. Owned a mutual fund or IRA in high school or college.
30. Flew anywhere on a commercial airline before you turned 16. (My first plane ride was to Italy my sophomore year in college).
31. Went on a cruise with your family.
32. Went on more than one cruise with your family.
33. Your parents took you to museums and art galleries as you grew up.
34. You were unaware of how much heating bills were for your family. (I seem to recall my mom saying that it was none of our business how much she made or how much our bills were. We shouldn't have to worry about that kind of stuff until we were adults.)
