I attended this event November 28th, Tuesday at 6:00 to 7:15pm. We all had to meet at Pray Harrold

I have never experienced diversity because the schools I went to were predominately caucasian. In elementary school, my grade had two hispanic students including myself, two Japanese students, and eighty students who were either Irish, Italian, Canadian, or German.

When I took the Personal Diversity Maturity Index one of the questions was “What is the most important reason to respond to diversity effectively?” The answer with the highest score was “It will make my company more competitive” which was the answer I chose because of what I learned during the research for this class. The success in making diversity an asset for an organization is understanding and learning from our differences. Studies

I completed my diversity experience at Cheshire High School, which is located in the wealthy suburban town of Cheshire. There are about 1,500 students in the school and administrative duties are split amongst one principal and three assistant principals.
