i would love if you can go over this essay for me and give me your comments and corrections.
here is the topic of the essay "What contributions might you bring as an individual to help create a widely diverse educational community in your chosen academic program"
thanks
Living in Nigeria which is in west Africa for 17 years and coming to college in the states has giving me two different views of life, both from the perspective of a Ghanaian and an American. Most attributes, the way of living and cultures of both countries are different even though they have a similar type of government which is the democratic government. For instance, in Ghana it rude for a kid to greet a grown up with their left hand, but it is seen as a normal behavior in the United States. I believe interacting with people from both countries has put me ahead of most people in the diverse community in Virginia tech, because not many people in this school have lived in different countries. During my stay in Ghana, I went to other countries like china, Cote D'ivoire, South Africa, Ghana, Germany, Italy, London and Togo. Visiting these countries and having interaction with the citizens of those countries and learning some of their cultures has giving me a better understanding of how people in different parts of the world work and think. I am currently embarking on a journey of becoming an electrical engineer and thus working on a B.S in electrical engineering. Most of the classes I am enrolled in or will enroll in involve group work with either 4 or more other students. During our projects, I hope to exchange the experiences and problem solving techniques I have gained from schooling in Ghana and visiting other countries with other students in the groups to help solve problems. In this way, other students will also learn different ways and methods of solving problems and might also find out more about different countries through our interactions.
