Privledge

A privilege is not a right and therefore can be revoked. It is more like a benefit or a favor and must be earned. One example of a privilege is a teenager getting to drive a car. It may seem like it is a right to have a car to drive around but in reality the teenager's parents are doing them a favor by allowing them to drive a car.

Introduction

My name is Emily Bhanukitsiri. I was born in Fremont, California and attended high school in Temecula, California. My graduating class only had 91 seniors but it was nice knowing everyone in my grade. I have one pug named Evey and an iguana named Jade. I am Thai, Chinese, and Mexican and only eight people in the world have my last name because my grandpa made it up when he escaped from China to Thailand. My favorite movies are Star Wars III-VI, V for Vendetta, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Indiana Jones, Pride & Prejudice, and Aladdin and my favorite books are Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. I currently attend Azusa Pacific University and hope to become either a registered nurse or a nurse practitioner and provide medical aid for countries were people have little access to it. I expect to get a lot out of my freshman writing seminar class. Our class is focusing on super heroes and social issues so I hope I can apply some of my favorite movies to current events. I also hope to improve my writing skills and learn proper citation and MLA formatting so I can apply it to future papers in all my classes.
