I would do the weight one! I also plan on making my diversity/challenge topic about my weight loss and probably use it in my actual essay as well for one of the reasons I want to become a physician.

Weight problems tends to mean addiction to food, and that's a real issue. Not many people know what it's like and how hard it really is to break an addiction.
If not the weight one, the second option definitely shows that you most likely matured relatively fast and would be an interesting discussion.

Hi everybody,

I'm hopping on the diversity secondary question topic. I just needed help as to which topic sounds more interesting.

1.) This one may sound weird lol. Since I was young, I was always had a fascination with reptiles and amphibians. During camping trips, I would be the one trying to catch lizards, frogs, etc. As I got older, I frequently attended reptiles expos and learned how breeders would create all these different morphs. I purchased leopard geckos, crested geckos, and bearded dragons. I was always researching how to create the perfect enclosure, and then put what I learned into use. I always thought I was odd considering so many people are afraid or disgusted by these animals.

2.) Since my father frequently abused alcohol, I served as the positive role model in my younger brothers life. Once my parents separated, I was responsible for his well-being while my mother was at work. I planned to talk about having difficulty maintaining balance between school-life and home-life. Furthermore, I wanted to incorporate how I learned how to let my brother make his own decisions depsite my feelings towards his choices.

3.) I have played guitar for around 15 years. I taught myself how to play by learning simple rock songs and progressively became better. While I never had played in front of a crowd, I was in a "garage band" in high school. After, I started to mess around and record on my laptop.

4.) I have always strugggled with my weight. In high school, I always maintained a decent fitness level by playing sports. Once I got out of high school, I became overweight. Constantly feeling self-conscious, I eventually joined a small gym in the area. With time, I changed my diet and exercised roughly 5-6 days a week. After about a year, I had lost about 30 pounds. Weight-lifting is still a large component of my life, but I have now moved more into powerlifting. I track all my workouts and monitor how much food I ear per day. I truly enjoy pushing myself and I like to think of my body as my own science experiment 😛

Thank you in advance!

2 or 4. Good luck OP.

Thank you! While I think is unique, do you feel that #1 would be appropriate given that it's kind of odd?

I like 2 and 4, but you may pick and choose based on the prompt. I have one perspective I used for questions that ask about how I will add to the diversity, and a different perspective when the question asks what about diversity with regards to working with patients. I think 2 is great for talking about your background and diversity in general, but maybe 4 would help when talking about working with patients as you can empathize with overweight patients and the difficulty of losing the weight.

I like 1 and 4! I'm also thinking that you'd probs want to lean towards 4 though. The 1st one might make an interesting secondary?

Wow! Sorry, apparently I can't read LOL. Hmm I think number 4 definitely!

 

[mistafab]

Dude, these are cool! I personally like 1 and 4, however 4 seems more applicable - congrats on your journey!

Best of luck

I like 1 and 2, just because I feel like every third post mentions weightlifting and I'm bored of the topic. I'm sure any could work if well-written, though.
