How does my privilege influence my work? How does my privilege influence the way I interact with my friends and the public? How might my awareness of my privilege affect how I choose to practice social work? These are questions I intend to continue to ask myself and evaluate as my career and education progress. I intend to measure the expansion of my knowledge about race and white privilege through my own consciousness. I believe that measuring my awareness is the best way to determine growth. I have already begun to notice my awareness of my understanding of white privilege and that of others as well, or my lack of understanding. My goal is to research and read an article once a week about race or white privilege and I will measure it by putting it on my calendar at work. Discussing what I read and learn with close friends will help me achieve my goal of becoming more informed and aware of my privilege and, in turn, will help me become a more balanced and justice-based social actor.
