I get the opporunity to have one of the best jobs on the planet (in my opinion!). I work of course, but that's part of the deal. It isn't "selling myself short" -- I worked for what I have, but it doesn't make me less privledged to have it.
Getting a scholarship, getting into a good program, earning awards -- all privledges. People than have a responsibility in return to use them well.

Please learn to spell PRIVILEGE properly...it just kills any point you are trying to make about working hard at school and scholarships...
