1. Environment: I grew up in a very welcoming Orthodox community of mostly Orthodox and non-Orthodox Jewish men, women, and children. I myself am a white, Orthodox, Jewish woman. My neighborhood from before I was born until my early adulthood was made up of Orthodox Jews until two secular families moved in. Even though my home technically borders Baltimore City, my community and school are not divided into county and city. This means that it doesn't necessarily matter where you live, you can attend any private school you want. I attend a private girls' school created by my community to specifically teach Jewish girls like me. Social class background: Based on education level, occupation, residence, wealth and income, I think my family is upper middle class. The upper-middle class is made up of people who are considered professionals, owners of their own businesses and managers. They value delayed gratification (to postpone pleasures for now and save them for the future) and success in both education and work. My family values ​​education; you must graduate and earn a degree. We also appreciate the delayed gratification along with completing high school and earning a college degree. It may stem from my background that I might be assumed to have grown up in an upper-middle class home. Both of my parents graduated from college and my father earned a law degree. He also has a Master's degree in Talmudic law. My father's job is as a lawyer. Having an occupation of this standard is also considered an occupation of high social prestige. Many of my neighbors are highly educated and well off. For example, one of my neighbors… middle of the paper… had that success. Whatever it is.6. Diversity Consciousness: As I stated previously, my religion shapes most of who I am, and I firmly believe in many of its teachings, including treating others as you wish to be treated. My family comes from all over the world. The only continents my family has never lived on are Australia and Antarctica. As a result, my family has many traditions that most assume don't fit our skin color. For example, part of my family is from Spain and Morocco, but all of my family have light skin and Caucasian features. I myself have been in situations where I was the whitest person in the room and felt uncomfortable with stares and bad treatment along with religious slurs. However, due to my upbringing, I felt like I had to prove that all the prejudices against me and my culture were actually false..
