I am applying to a school that is pretty rural-focused and I grew up in a rural community myself and it is a large part of my life. However, I am also a person of color and my diversity/adversity essays are largely centered around the unique adversities I faced as a POC in a rural area. For this school, I feel like it is weird to talk about the adversities I faced as a rural community member. I just don't want it to come off as resentful towards rural settings. Do you all have any advice on how I can talk about my specific life experiences without sounding like I don't like rural America?
