My eyes automatically drifted to the tall bright palm tree that moved along with the rhythm of the wind. It’s leafs danced as they presented their welcome. The sun shined down and hugged me with warmth, giving my skin a tingling, but satisfying sensation. I had come from Virginia to California, the famous, constantly spoken of state, that finally reached my sight. The state presented its beautiful attributes to capture my wonder and mesmerization. My appreciation for the state kindled a great desire: to implant the seeds of my future into its enriched land. As it was my first time in California, all I desired was to explore the depths of every corner in the state: so I did. As a sign came along spelling the words “The University of Redlands,” I …show more content…
Diversity can be defined as the variety of beliefs, interests, and experiences within groups of people. Redlands’ excellent ethnic diversity reveals statistics with less than half of white majority and more than half of minority students. As a Hispanic female, the word minority has traveled with me constantly. The fact that The University of Redlands encourages all minorities as well as the majority to pursue a future career captivates my attention. Truly, diversity has inspired me of to collaborate and compete with many different cultures and morals. Each individual possesses different morals and mine will be encouraged at a university like Redlands. I believe preparation produces the key to success. The University of Redlands has derived a solution to the problem that arises within undergraduate students who do not know how to apply their educational resources in their future jobs- professional development. This form of coaching and instruction allows students to efficiently transition from a classroom setting to a real-life scenario which is something I deem necessary but not many schools
Diversity allows students to form their own views and opinions; diversity is vital to the
Not a Pedestrian Bridge My family rarely goes on elaborate vacations for various reasons. For one, my family isn’t very wealthy. We get by, we just don’t have enough extra to spend Christmas in New York or summer in Europe or anything. Our trips are usually in state, going a couple hours away to volunteer at a summer camp, driving up to Mackinac Island (where my parents worked for a few tourist seasons), or to Petoskey for a soccer tournament.
I do not want to lose sight of my goals. Goals that include completing my associates degree then progressing with my bachelors so I can complete my masters. Another objective of mine is to become a round well-rounded person. This institution was created only to be a student 's academic home for a short amount of time. This is good for an order students who only needed college for the credits offered.
Diversity plays a big role in my community in, St. Cabrini Nursing Home. As social workers we work in different levels such as micro, mezzo, and macro and within those levels our clients are very diverse in many different ways. Diversity comes in many different forms such as age, race, color, religion, immigration status, culture, disability ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Those are just some or the many that define diversity. Diversity impacts my community in the nursing home because in this nursing home the majority of the residents are all Caucasians and the majority of the staff members are African Americans.
As the sun breaks, the Bay Area hive awakens; and 265,000 people commute to San Francisco. My day starts at 7:35 a.m in front of the In and Out Burger in Mill Valley. There, a faded, orange CYO bus picks up a group of sleepy SI students. The tall stairs of the old bus greet me every morning as I climb them to begin my daily expedition into the city.
I believe in the power that the past holds over people. People are influenced by their own personal experiences, their beliefs, and the people around them. I believe that these things create a lens, or filter that people view the world through. In this essay, I’m going to take up some of your time and tell you about my own lens, and how I think it’s possible to change, or even create a whole new lens for yourself.
I have been to many Kansas State events over the past year and a half that I have been here. And, all of them have contributed to my success here at K-State. However, there is one in particular that really touched. It was Conversation Café: Looking at our Community.
The little boy in this photograph is me, when I was on a school trip to Sacramento. He is panning for gold in a pool of water, as many children have before him. Swish, swish, check. It is California, 2012, in the Columbia Historic State Park.
Diversity is the differences between people. It does not matter if they came from the richest of the rich or the slums of America, everyone has a story. Sex, age, ethnicity, social status, sexual orientation, and the list goes on. There is some sort of amazement that people from completely different backgrounds have so many similarities, but on the flip side it’s amazing that people with the same back story can be completely different. In the major of social work, the people in that field expect to see diversity with all clients they meet with, but rarely do they expect to see diversity in their career.
It was a typical sunny day in California. The only problem was this day wasn 't typical at all. I remember the day quite clearly. The day my parents told me that I had to move. The day my life changed.
An example for diversity can be the different ethnic groups and religious groups at Montclair State University
When I think of the word “diversity” I think of variety or an assortment of many different things. Diversity adds a lot of values to a college education for many reasons. For example, diversity is shown in school in many ways like the different kinds of classes you can take such as a language class, science, math or English, etc., teachers also have many different variety’s like the teacher you choose, the way that they teach, the subject, also the many different types of clubs show how the club itself and the schools diversity. All these things add value to a college education because it shows the many different options that a person has, it also shows how each one is different and that you can expand yourself and your education.
In the great valley known as San Gabriel, once untouched by human hand, once claimed by nature, and later fortified by man lays a great town by the name of Sierra Madre. Young kids would make fun of it as the is really only known for its sub-par pizza and by the fact that it peaked 62 years ago when “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” happened to be filmed among its hidden suburban community. At the foot of the great San Gabriel Mountain lay an eight-year-old boy whose very existence contributed almost nothing to society. This boy was particularly quiet but dreamed that one day he would be heard by many, little did he know that on this sunny California day in nothing special Sierra Madre, many would hear from him; well thirteen people to be exact, which was many for his small eight-year-old mind. It was just another Wednesday as the young
Before I came to the Florida State College at Jacksonville, I already had have the prior knowledge that this institution embraced a very diverse student population. Even with this idea in mind, I am still fascinated by the racial and ethnic diversity at FSCJ. For the class on Thursday, the speakers from Multicultural & Diversity Affairs discussed the topic of diversity. The presentation raised my awareness of cultural diversity, changed my perspective on diversity, encouraged me to apply the learnings to my future time at FSCJ, and also allowed me to understand the importance of diversity for not only first generation students but also for people in general.
When I first started applying to colleges, University of California, Riverside was one which quickly ascended my personal ranking system. As I did more research into the university, the more reassured I felt that I could find what I sought after and that I would be happy there. One aspect which put allowed UCR to stand out to me more than the other colleges I had applied to, - as minor as it may sound - is its distance from my home. Secondly, I was easily able to find my desired major and the accompanying suggested academic calendar, which immediately put the university above most others. And thirdly, I have heard great praise of not only the engineering program and Bourn’s school, but the University as a whole from both my colleagues, a handful of friends with family are currently attending or graduated, and my high school advisors.
