Nice work, Caleb. You have the rudiments of becoming a writer. But please, you were fortunate to get to Midland. Not “privileged”. Ditch that word, banish it from your vocabulary.

Otherwise, good stuff.

What's wrong with using privileged?

It is a word used to separate some folks in this country from the rest of the country, to corral them into a social shame space, to demand fealty to critical theorist views of oppressor and oppressed, to modern day Marxism. Best to be done with it until the whole notion of a certain portion the populace being responsible for every misfortune others have is itself cancelled.
