Diversity

The word diversity is such a vague term. When I hear the word, the first thing that comes to mind is racial, cultural, and religious diversity. However, during my time at USC thus far, I've learned that on top of race, culture, and religion, there are so many more types of diversity. Diversity is defined by every aspect of humans: personality, beliefs, values, appearance, gender, backgrounds, family income level, etc. These are the things that set people apart from each other and make the world a more interesting place. Imagine a world where everyone was the same--it would be so dull. Thank goodness for diversity!

At Hand Middle School, there is a high level of diversity. The differences in age, maturity, and family income level among the students provides for a richly diverse school. I can't wait to see more diversity through further experience at Hand!
