Diversity

Before I came to USC, I defined diversity as people having different backgrounds, beliefs, values, etc. During my time at USC, I think I realize diversity is a whole lot more than that. Just looking on campus you can see the amount of diversity that USC has. I think diversity can include what you wear, how you act, along with what you believe, etc. Mentoring at Hand Middle, I see diversity every day that I walk in. Students at Hand all come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and races. However, you can already tell it is predominantly African-American students that attend. Also, it is interesting to see how students do academically with the background that they have. I love to see that my mentee still has great grades even though her home life isn't so great.
