National Jamboree Narrative When I was 13 years old I went to a boy scout event with thousands of scouts, that was 15 days long called National Jamboree, which was held out in West Virginia. It wasn’t going to be like any other normal scout trip I’ve been on where it’s just my friends and I going on a weekend campout. This was going to be a fun and very adventurous trip with people from all over the world in which I had no clue what I was going to expect. I’ve never been around other people other than who I went to school with or grew up with, so I wasn’t sure if I was going to be out of place going to a different state meeting new people, or if I was going to be treated just like everyone treats me back at home. As I was packing my bag, I didn’t really know what I should be packing because I didn’t …show more content…
I learned that it doesn’t matter who you are or what you are, you can always get along with anyone and become friends with all of them because everyone is the same. No matter what the environment is like we are all one. Analysis What is diversity? As a 13-year-old boy, I would have no clue what that question would mean to me if someone asked me. But after going to the National Jamboree, I believe that I could answer that question to myself. I would have never thought that diversity would be the thing to learn on a long trip to a place with many different people, different religions, and people with different race. Being such a young boy, going far away without any family member and going to a place I've never been to with a lot of people, I could say I was scared. I had never been on my own for such a long time. I had a lot of growing up to do and I had a lot of responsibility on my shoulders. I could say as a 13-year-old, I was doing great things that many people I grew up with never got the opportunity to
Diversity means that people are different and varied. It means that a lot of people

What diversity means to me is each and every individual in this world is unique. No one is the same so that’s why learning about new cultures, languages, lifestyles, religion, beliefs and traditions is enjoyable for humans. If everyone were the same, life would be boring. The unique characteristics that people possess can be vastly different. I have an open mind and am willing to be educated by people with different cultures because it gives the opportunity to gain increased knowledge about their lives. When people are accepting of others that’s when you have a better chance to

One of my earliest childhood memories was in a huge playground with kids the same age as me, laughing and talking in a foreign language, except I was the only one lost in translation. The memory was of a time when my parents sent me to an all-girls boarding school in India at five years of age. Learning how to adjust to a new culture was difficult, to say the least. However, I have grown from this unique experience. I developed a new mentality to adapt to any situation, and truly believe friends can help support anyone through any circumstance. I also learned many new cultural experiences that influence my life today. It is these experiences at my boarding school that has shaped me into the person I am today.
