Hi SDN!
I’ve been struggling with coming up with a topic for my diversity essay. I am a white female from a relatively wealthy area of CT, and am hoping to get some advice on whether either of these topics sound interesting/acceptable!
1) I was a theater major in college and actually was planning on applying to a conservatory for musical theater until I decided to also pursue neuroscience. I did a few really exciting productions as a result, i worked with a local veterans group to put on a play about virtual reality therapy, I did some site specific stuff, wrote a play, etc. My biggest worry about this is that I already talked about my theater history in my PS and connected it to my current job as a clinical research coordinator.
2) I actually have a four year old brother that I live with - he was born one month into my first semester of college and I have been heavily involved with his care. I was apprehensive before he was born but after I gained a lot of perspective and patience. I always thought this was an interesting fact about me, as not many have siblings 18 years younger than them (unless I am wrong!)
Does anyone think either of these ideas are feasible and/or engaging? I also wanted to see if it was too personal to write about an immediate family member’s opiate addiction for my challenge essay. I was 12 and was exposed to a lot of information about it at that age; it was definitely a pivotal experience. Please let me know what y’all think and thank you so much!
