I'm an upper middle class white boy with zero difficulties in life. I am 100% aware of this. In trying to write about diversity, I have come up with few ideas.
I can talk about my leadership/teamwork that I've developed by being an athlete all my life (although I play ice hockey and my school doesn't have a team so I am playing in a local league instead. Not technically being a student athlete might hurt this idea.) I have many mentoring and leadership roles in college that are in my application already but I can flesh them out further in an essay with this theme. The idea would be that I bring the skills to organize a team.
Another idea I had was to talk about how I am completely aware that I am well off. Having these opportunities to do whatever I want has motivated me to take advantage of that and make a difference in the world. While my siblings have never really challenged themselves and my cousins didn't even go to college and are just living off of family money, I have worked my ass off to go to med school. This could come off the wrong way though.
Thoughts?
