UW Application Diversity Question

The UW diversity question asks “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, co-workers, 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 have no idea what to write about, I am a white male, I am fairly religion but I don’t think that would be a good topic. What did you guys write about?

I suggest starting from the end of the prompt – Start with what you want to add/join/do/try in college (something that reflects your individual interests/personality and not something obvious like “go to Husky games”) and work backward into your history (the world you come from) to where that interest/value/passion came from.
