After talking with my premed advisor we brainstormed a couple ideas:
1) underserved rural blue collar community
2) Exercise physiology & kinesiology Major
3) college Football player
4) experience working with underserved urban communities
After reflecting on it, I think the first three are VERY interconnected ( the fourth kind of too I guess). Coming from a blue collar community, I was drawn and worked in jobs like farmers hands, construction, blacktop, roofing, etc. Furthermore I think doing these blue collar jobs that require "physical capital" are what made me so passionate about, and drew me to, football and working out. I would also say taking part in this very "physically oriented" lifestyle is what pushed me too picking up the non traditional majors of Exercise physiology and kinesiology. I would also probably talk about how these pushed me to work at a job where I got to serve other underserved areas (however these are urban underserved, in contrast to my rural).
But so I was just curious do you think I should sort of interconnect all of those experiences in my diversity essay? Or is it better to pick one and stick too it? Thank you!
