My ideas, morals and education are an accumulation of qualities that I have obtained through my interactions with diverse people. Like picking ripe fruit on display in the supermarket, I have benefitted from the ripe perspectives of a these individuals. Differences have changed my perspectives, thoughts and decisions. Because I value the differences of others, I will enrich the diverse learning environment at the UA COM-Phoenix. One example of how diversity has impacted my life, is the experience
My diversity experience began on November 12, 2016 in Wilmington, North Carolina at the Jamaica’s Comfort Zone restaurant. I chose this experience because I feel I need to learn more about Jamaica, Jamaicans and their culture. Also, because there appears to be a large number of Jamaicans residing in various parts of the United States, particularly in New York, Florida, and Georgia (Atlanta). Prior to searching for an authentic Jamaican restaurant, I decided that I needed to do some research regarding
Diversity Experience 2 I went to the presentation of the Blackboard Jungle 9 Symposium on Thursday, March 31, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in the Dudley H. Davis Center. I wasn’t be there on time. When I got there, it was already full of people. I had to stand at the back of the room. At that moment, Nikki Khanna was presenting. She talked about what race are Indians. Also take two examples: The one drop rule & walter white, and Susie guillory Phipps. She wanted us to compare these two stuffs. I was shocked
ethnic group. Age Group – I have the most experience with other millennials and people my own age. However, I’ve also been around people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, etc. Some of these people are my family members and some have been family friends. I don’t have much experience with little children but I think I would be able to work with/around them. Economic Status – I have the most experience with people who are middle class and upper-middle class. My dad was a medical professional so the vast
When I first heard about this conference last year in the diversity club event, I thought of it as essentially a vacation in Atlanta. It sounded fun, but I wasn’t particularly interested in it. Still, I thought it might be worth checking out, so I decided to look online to see what its website said. What I found painted a picture very different from my first impression. It gave the impression of a legitimately powerful learning experience, which coupled with Ainsley’s testimony began to sound extremely
Describe how your personal experiences with diversity and multiculturalism, which may include paid or volunteer work, have contributed to your interest and readiness for social work practice. My experiences with diversity and multiculturalism first started when I saw my grandfather having to translate for my great-grandmother. She only spoke Italian so whenever she tried to speak with me I had to ask my grandfather to translate. After my great-grandfather passed away my great-grandmother lived alone
Diversity is not merely defined as originating from a different culture. Diversity is everything that makes you unique. In detail, the most diverse part of human life is not only their genes, and where they originate from, but also their experiences, and what helped shape them. Personally, I come from family with very diverse roots. My grandmother is Hispanic, my grandfather, German. And my other two grandparents are of Irish, French, and English origins.

love, and had financial security. In general, I grew up without knowing true hardship. I only realized this entering high school where I encountered my first real experience with diversity. Having left all my middle school friends (who went to a different high school) I was fresh in the market for some new companions. After filtering through a few my new classmates I found someone with the same love for classical guitar and shows with way-too-smart main characters (like Psych). I was appalled when
Everyone has their own experience with diversity growing up. Some kids grow up in a very diverse neighborhood and school district, while others grow up in small farm towns where their closest neighbor is five miles away. It is always interesting to see how everyone is raised, their beliefs, and their personal experience to diversity. No matter how an individual is raised, as an educator we need to make sure everyone feels welcome in our classroom no matter what their background is. I grew up
the table to make one "diverse". Unfortunately, that is the case in quite a bit of peoples eyes, but in reality, everyone has their own backgrounds and their own experiences. My experiences of diversity has shaped me as an individual by letting me understand certain aspects of a foreign language, and letting me be able to learn and make my own choices on faith. To start off with, in high school, I decided to enrich myself in foreign language.
