Diversity is one of the biggest things you have to deal with in life. Some people don't even realize what diversity is. Diversity is the combination of sex, race, and ethnicity that is around us in our everyday life. Here at ASU it is important to practice diversity due to all the different groups that attend this school. Diversity is also never a bad thing. When you get older you realize that these are the people you will have to communicate with and you have to develop a way of not being scared of different cultures. They are still and always your peers in life and that doesn't change because they are different.
When it comes down to diversity, I acknowledge the fact of respecting everyone around me. I know I have to talk to people no matter if they like me or are like me in any way. I actually enjoy talking to different people because I get understanding of different customs that I would have never known if I hadn't talked to different people. For example, a guy in my class is from the middle east and wears a tariff. That didn't stop me form talking to him in our group discussion because I don't care how different people are. That makes me feel good inside that i acknowledge they're there and I received information about his culture that may be good to know in the future. If diversity didn't exist, I believe the world wouldn't be as interesting as it is.

I like how you added your own personal touch. It's nice to know that you are an actual ASU student actively taking advantage of diversity. I also agree that without diversity, this world would not be as interesting.
