Thoughts on Diversity

You’ve all heard the line “never judge a book by its cover.” For me, I hear that phrase and automatically think of diversity in the United States. Especially on college and university campuses, diversity is a universal issue when numerous different types of people end up attending classes in an area of only about 5 miles. It’s hard not to have misconceptions and prejudices when you meet someone different than you. I’ll admit I haven’t always got to know people before judgments are made in my mind—but I’m glad to say I’ve always had the awareness and the tolerance needed to attend any American college!
