Hi All! I am working on my diversity essay and so far, I have a couple drafts that I can't decide between. I would love any ideas or improvements (or if they just suck...) I can make to them.
1. I talked about how growing up in poverty with my mother, and having my father living a country away brought a passion for cooking with whatever I can get my hands on. My parents came together once a year and we made sure to do something fancy with our meals during that time using our limited resources. This translates to how I problem solve, manage resources, and my passion for bringing people together with food. Now, I volunteer at a food bank where I hold cooking demos for low income families using food that they leave behind during their pickups. I have also done some dinners with friends/coworkers with dietary restrictions, which was a fun challenge.
2. I was pre-vet and worked as part of the animal care team. I developed patience and diligence when working with creatures that cannot communicate directly with me. I hope to bring these skills of the classroom and patient care by being observant and detailed, but also open to new suggestions and learning experiences.
3. I moved between 3 countries when I was younger, and, each time, I was exposed to different cultural backgrounds. I discussed (very quickly) some specific differences. Ultimately, these experiences taught me how to adapt, be understanding of different perspectives, and a desire to explore new things. I talked about bringing to the class a curiosity towards new advancements, how they interact with older procedures and concepts, and developing a well-rounded understanding of medicine patient care.
Personally, I am leaning towards 1 since I can relate my volunteerism to it...
Thank you!
