“Our families and communities often define us and our individual worlds. Community might refer to your cultural group, extended family, religious group, neighborhood or school, sports team or club, etc. Describe the world you come from and how you, as a product of it might add to the diversity of The University of Washington.”
I’m half Persian and half white and I live in the suburbs. Although I’ve had some family troubles, idk what to write about for “diversity” help!???
Notice that there are a lot of possible angles in the prompt. Cultural group is just one of your possible angles.
Ask yourself- how will I contribute on campus? Work backward to- where did I learn how to do that?
Maybe it was a Persian tradition, but it could just as easily have been something you learned in the neighborhood, school, team, or club.
