Culture of Power

so, before taking this class i had never really thought about the culture of power despite the fact that i have 'power' and, though subconsciously, know how to use it. i grew up in a middle class family. My father owns his own construction business, Pratt Home Improvement, and when i was younger business was doing well so he helped my mother pay her way through law school. Now i am still from a middle class family but we are a middle class family with more money than before. i went to a catholic school up until highschool where i was pulled away from my nearly all white, wealthy, environment and put into a much larger school with a wide range of different cultures, backgrounds, races etc. i didnt go to the best highschool, it was acctually pretty crappy, but i was still always taken care of by my familly, taking voice lessons and going on cruises, living in a nice neighborhood accross the street from the owner of Cargill Chevorolet. I know what to wear to a job interview and how to behave at a classy restaurant, i have been taught the culture of power and hope to, someday, teach it to my children and students. I have had many opportunities in my past that have opened doors for me. i have a full theatre scholoriship to RIC because i was able to take voice lessons and had time to act in plays, i didnt have to work and had parents who could drive me around where i needed to be.
