Here is the basis of my diversity essay. Please provide any feedback, thank you guys so much for helping, I truly do appreciate it!

My essay talks about how growing up as an immigrant shaped who I am. I moved around a lot and had to learn how to connect with people even when I felt out of place. For a while, I hid parts of my culture to fit in, but going back to India helped me see the value in where I came from. Those experiences pushed me to give back, whether through starting a clinic or helping underserved communities. It all comes down to wanting people to feel seen—because I know what it’s like not to be.

I have obviously elaborated more and gave more details and made it more personal to me and how its shaped my perspective. But does this match a diversity essay? Does it show who I am and what experiences have shaped the person I have become today? Or should I find another reason that makes me unique like a lot of people have been writing about on reddit? Thank you!!
