I have been to an international school in egypt (british) North coast, and I live in a gated community.

Basically you would I guess see me as that privileged person in egypt which yea you are not wrong Well I would I think be privileged compared to the average egyptian living in egypt which would be like where you go to a national school and that you live in a normal area (Basically no gated communities) so yeah

And yes I’m 17 years old right now so yeah that too also I know this doesn’t fully fit here sorry but still

This one's little on the personal side, so you can choose to ignore this question if you want. Outside the gated community, do you find it hard to "fit in" with the general community at times because of your background? Or put in another way, was there ever a moment where your "difference" to an average native was highlighted?
