Diversity enhances my life, when people have an understanding of my needs and I have an understanding of theirs. As an ex sailor, in the Royal Navy, I have been lucky enough to travel and witness many cultures. I was extremely lucky to be invited to an Indian wedding once, which was an experience I will cherish.

There are many valuable aspects to living in a diverse community, but the most valuable to me is the wide range of perspectives on world problems, and local situations. With a more diverse student body, People will bring new insights and ideas that others may not have thought of. It can also educate people about cultures, traditions, and backgrounds other than my own. This can be very helpful because with the knowledge of another culture,

Even if the colleges are achieving their goals to get a diverse student body to the campuses, they fail to get those groups to interact.  In the article “The Lie About College Diversity,” Bruni’s interpretation on diversity explains that common college diversity programs are categorizing students together with similar backgrounds. Only a number of programs accept students to interact with fellow diversity students with different cultures, backgrounds or ethnic groups. These programs do not motivate students to reach out and share their thoughts with other groups because they could get rejected.  By learning other points of view and having diversity in the learning environment, it also helps individuals communicate better.  It also opens minds to ideas and concepts they might not have considered and provide them with

Immigrant Student Success: Integration through SportsIntegration is important for immigrant student’s success in school and their sense of belonging. Immigrant students in most countries have worse academic performance than students originally from the country, this is thought to be due to a language barrier. One of the most important ways children feel like they belong other than at home is at school, and one of the best ways to get school age children to get to know each other is on a sports team.There is a considerably larger gap between immigrants and non-immigrants in reading performance compared to mathematics or problem solving. That would most likely point to a lack of text comprehension, meaning that a language barrier may explain

Being an immigrant and coming from a poor family, money has always been an issue in my life. Barely having the money to pay for the rent and bills each month, it makes life very complicated and frustrating for my family. I’m writing this statement to you because I’m afraid I will not have enough money to cover for my tuition as I enroll in Hamline University this fall. With the lack of money, it means that I would have to take a lot of loans which I don’t want to do because I don’t want to work the rest of my life just trying to pay off my loan debt. I desperately need your help because if I don’t go to college this year, I will have to wait another semester again.

Three ideas for teachers to support new immigrant students in a classroom will be images and games, friendly conversation, and the power of stories. When it comes to images and games, teachers should decorate their classroom or school walls with photos of diverse role models, including those of immigrants (Burnett, 2015). As a teacher, you should make sure your class is unique and comfortable for young students. When I become a teacher, I will make sure I decorate my class and make it colorful. Furthermore, I will have some type of diverse theme in my class so I can make all students feel welcome in my class and welcome by me. Now when it comes to friendly conversations, teachers should create mixed-student small groups. Students may feel

The diversity helps individual to accept the differences of others. The multicultural environment can help me feel accepted by my peers and get to know about other cultures. There will be many students and staff that I will be able to relate to. This can help me get a broader view of education and knowledge. Everyone has to face difficulties being in this city, but it also makes the individual tougher. It motivates people to learn more about others struggle and make them their strength. Being in NYU will help me find myself and learn about different opportunities. Often, immigrants are seen as “second-class

When one thinks of an identity it is used to give a sense of inclusion, of solidarity, between a group of people who share similar experiences, characteristics, and ideals. However, within the Latino community there has been much disagreement on how it is the “Latino” community should be identified. For one, being identified as Latino has served to bring exclusion from the political realm of U.S. government; the same government that is thought of as inclusive and pluristic. When we study Latinos and their role in politics it is important to keep in mind that there is exclusion both socially and politically on the basis of identity, therefore, one cannot make general assumption concerning resource access.

I was always the kid in my family that enjoyed philosophical debate, and now with my recent love for African-American culture and history, I feel that the Telluride Association Sophomore Seminar would be just up my alley. Sitting in a room with a handful of other African-American high schoolers that have the same fire for learning and discussion as I would be wonderful, and possibly would foster a plethora of great new friendships. The workshops lead by the adult professionals would also serve as a good networking opportunity as well as the chance to understand what career opportunities would possibly available to me. I am a young intelligent poor African-American that has Haitian heritage living in Orlando, attending a predominately caucasian school on a magnet.

The Asian American Student Union (AASU) is the fourth largest student-run organization at the University of Florida. Within AASU, there are a number of different sub-organizations and programs. AASU has served as the starting point for my involvement within UF and gave me exposure to different leadership opportunities that I would not have had otherwise. My involvement began my freshman year in the Freshman Leadership Program. I served on the public relations committee for the AASU Closing Ceremony and was the Committee Chair for the Dodgeballin’ for Babies Tournament, a fundraiser for the March of Dimes. In addition, I was selected for a scholarship to attend the East Coast Asian American Student Union Conference at Duke University. Since

The cost of a college tuition has dramatically risen since the late 1980’s, and left the country in a staggering trillion dollar student debt*. Citizens have been affected in having to pay massive fees and finally resorting to loans or having to leave school. But, for immigrants the cost of higher education is different. Recently, In state tuition for immigrant students was granted to various states such as New York, California and even Florida; which lowered the cost to a group of students called Dreamers (Bousquet 2015). The Dreamers are a group of students who have been given amnesty and the right to pursue a higher education. Being a Dreamer or student immigrant does not mean receiving a full ride to college, nor does it mean having the

While many foreign students come to the United States for the benefits given to them by their country, coming to the U.S. has opened more than just economic doors for them because the new generation of foreign students are more open and available to facilitate discussions on controversial issues in their countries. It has also taught them American values such as responsibility and dependence, and has provided them with much better school systems.
