diversity

    Diversity is an imperative factor for life and growth. I believe diversity is important, because without diversity we as people would not learn anything new nor would we be able to grow and expand beyond our horizons. Diversity means to have variety, meaning to attain things, and people from a different cultural background, different area, and who have different personalities.

   Having diversity is not only important to have in order to learn more, but also having diversity, keeps life from becoming bored. If you have a school full of the same exact people you would not achieve anything because they all think and act in the same fashion. You would not be able to have an input of different ideas, as to how to raise money for the school, or what extracurricular activities to participate in.

   I, for one, have the deepest desire to attend a diverse college because I want to be challenged with a diverse set of minds. I don’t want to attend a college where everyone has the same beliefs and values as me. Diversity will only lead people to something more positive, because although we as people may believe that we attain a certain amount of knowledge about people and the different backgrounds they come from. We actually don’t know too much of anything until we have fully submerges ourselves in the different backgrounds, different areas, and surrounded ourselves with people who have different personalities. People who are not open to diversity, I believe are not open to new things, and are somewhat fearful of change.
