Hi I am struggling on the topic to focus on for my diversity essay. I have two unique life experiences that I think could be good, but wanted some feedback if possible.
1. My parents were both big followers of the counterculture in the 70's. This defined life experiences during my upbringing. I plan to talk a few specific experiences from this background that defined my perspective. These include getting stranded on a boat overnight, helping them navigate modern medicine when natural therapies no longer worked, how I helped organize and write songs for my dad's cover band. Other ideas are making tie dye t shirts and organizing community events where we lived.
2. I used to stutter when I was younger. After years of speech therapy, I eventually just decided to jump ship and try out for my school musical in high school. I got the lead role and this helped me become a successful speaker. I now am better able to work with people with speech issues or communication barriers of all kind. I can talk about how I have used this experience to bridge gaps in communication in various contexts.
Thanks for the help. I am struggling with what to write and pick the best topic. How should I translate each experience to how I can help advance diversity at the school if it is picked?
