852 Words4 Pages

Diversity is something that I believe is very important in any situation. Without diversity, people would be too similar. Diversity makes people who they are. I am a 14-year-old soccer player who moved to California after living in Massachusetts for 5 years, is have over 50 first cousins all of which are from Massachusetts. Not one other person in the world is the same as me. I think diversity represents the fact that people are snowflakes, not in the sense that people are weak or fragile but that no two people are exactly the same. My siblings who come from the same family are in no way the same as me.

I have always heard the stories of people whose lives could have ended up horribly if it wasn’t for their hard work and perseverance. Lastly, something my parents taught me to do was to always do what you love and go after what makes me happy.

The diversity among the student population and the equality among races here at BGSU was actually a big deciding factor when I was choosing where I wanted to go to college. As a freshman last year I was living in a dorm and luckily got a very wide variety of races, personalities, and backgrounds held by my “floormates” which is exactly what I wanted. After a couple of weeks of settling in and getting to know everyone, I began to meet people that did not have the diversity in their hometowns that mine did, and although this was just a lack of first-hand experience for most, one girl in particular was blatantly racist in her ideology of minorities, blacks in
