These three facets of my identity are perhaps the most important in defining my sense of self. I feel that the song “In Color” by Jamey Johnson best represents my class identity as someone whose family comes from humble beginnings, yet has worked
far as identity and experiences go, I can easily follow how their effects mold my values and perception of the world. Many aspects of my education and childhood, for example, correspond pretty directly with general areas of privilege. I am White, able-bodied, and have always lived in relative safety.
