Born on Third Base #1

This book has given me a new perspective on the way I look at what I have accomplished. I was also impressed when he gave up his inheritance. I honestly don't think I could have done the same, and I feel many people wouldn't either and that makes his argument so much stronger. I also found that some of the small stories he uses to explain the privilege where very interesting and helpful. For example, I liked his comparison of privilege to the wind that helps you bike faster. You don't realize it is there, but it helps you get so much further.

I was not born in the US, but I have the privilege to study here. After this book, I am beginning to understand that  I am here today because I have been influenced by the privilege Panama experienced while the US was stationed there.  The US brought a legacy that has allowed me to receive a great education and has allowed my father to prosper in business to get me here.
