Diversity – Defined in the dictionary as the state or fact of being diverse; difference or variety.
My name is and as I look back on my life in High School and I
ponder what I’ve done that brought diversity to my school and my life, two thoughts
really stands in the forefront. The first is my involvement with the Lacrosse and Football
Teams at High. I had tried out for both teams but quickly learned that my forte
was not in playing but on the sidelines. The coach of our school is Mr. . He has
been the Coach for 30 plus years in . In the 30 years he has taught, not once
has he had a student approach him in this manner. I convinced him to give me a chance
and I guess it paid off for both of us as I have now been managing with him for the last
four years. I feel my taking the chance to try something different from anyone else in the
past really shows how diverse I am. I have always felt variety in life is what keeps life
interesting.
Secondly, I started Cub Scouts when I was 7 working my way through the ranks
to Life Scout at the age of 16. The lessons taught to me through those years were
invaluable, the self discipline and responsibilities given by my pears truly expanded my
abilities not only as a Boy Scout but also in my life. The real reward, however, was
passing down my skills to the younger Scouts. Watching them grow as I had done
brought tremendous satisfaction having once been in their shoes. It really showed me that
giving on a personal level can change peoples lives.
I hope these two experiences will show you my passion for life and my appreciation of
being a part of a community that works together to achieve great things.
While I have researched many fine colleges. I feel that the ______________________is
the right choice for me. I truly hope to start the next chapter of my life at your school.
