Reflection on lectures and class

As I was sitting in my counselling skills tutorial today, people were talking about their family of origin, and how they influenced their expectations on what their highest level of education and acheivement and goals were going to be. Of the people that were talking, all of the parents that they were referring to hadn't finished high school, and never went to uni, and from my opinion, would still be classified as middle class families, one of them, both parents were unemployed and uneducated (as far as tertiary education, and in parts secondary education goes), so yeah. it got me thinking that I was pretty lucky, both my parents finished year 12, had some sort of tertiary education level, and had steady employment. It got me thinking that if we were distinguishing class level by this point, then I would be considered of a higher class than the people that were speaking. Don't mean to put myself above, or its not that i consider myself any better than them, just that socially, and sociologically, I would probably be of a higher class, which made me feel bad, surprisingly, because I knew that, if this was the example of the table and the floor, then i would be at the table, and thats not necessarily a place i want to be. Because of this thought and this reflection, I somehow looked down on the other people there, but admired them at the same time, which was slightly weird. yeah. i cannot describe it. Don't mean to sound 'up myself' but i actually quite liked the feeling of being one up on someone, which i guess is quite selfish of me, and i shouldn't feel that, because I'm going to be working with young people that are going to have circumstances worse than mine. Am I going to feel good because of this?? Am i going to look down upon them because of this??

yeah... I also realised that I'm actually an extrovert, that has just learnt to become introverted, and that i actually get quite defensive when someone is in conflict with me, or i am being attacked.

yeah. i guess thats it for now
Cheerio
