How does diversity affect you in everyday life?

Do you see diversity at school? Do you appreciate the experiences and knowledge

of classmates that are different from yourself?

If not, you should pay attention.

You might enjoy what you see.

Our country, the United States of America, is one of the most diverse countries in the world.

Several cultures come together every day and interact at work, school, and at play. Diversity is everywhere you turn. What kind

of diversity can you see?

Don’t be afraid to think outside the box.

Everyone gets along in their own way and finds a way to enjoy the people and experiences around them.

How do you plan to experience

diversity?
