Tell us how your own experiences and background will allow you to contribute to these conversations
The best people we ever meet, are people who are usually different from ourselves by having different qualities than ours or just at a higher level that we admire. Diversity is such an important issue and learning to understand it is essential to keep away the prejudice accusations and comments. Hearing and understanding other people, besides ourselves is a gift that should be well used by communicating with people from different cultures than ours to expand our minds, ideas, and thoughts. Looking at things from a different point of view is great because it is those moments that the most brilliant ideas emerge.
In the United States we have the opportunity to interact with people of different cultures, but it is within us to accept the offer and go on to meet new people. I myself come from Mexicali, Mexico a small state where culture and family values are extremely important. I came to the United State when I was six years old, two years after my parents. The transition from my town to Los Angeles was hard and not knowing the language made it worst. However, I overcame financial, discriminating, and bullying obstacles because of trouble that my immigrant background would give me.
Who would ever say a Mexican would be best friends with an Arabian. Two significantly different backgrounds yet very similar because of the future educational goals we have. Meeting people from different backgrounds opened up my mind from the small town girl mind that I use to have now beeing able to see things and life a different perspectives; in ways I would have not been able to in my old town. In addition, it gave me a sense of wanting to continue with an education that I thought at first would be impossible. Now not only do I want that education now but truly believe in myself because other people believe in me unlike myself and their points of view have made me a better person because I not only listen to myself but others.
