Identify and describe one trait or characteristic that you see as setting you apart from the “norm” in society against which all other people are measured (white, male, 35 years old, upper middle class, Protestant, married, heterosexual, able-bodied, and able-minded). For instance, characteristics such as ‘I am resilient.’; ‘I am a strong person.’; I am prompt’; may not be a characteristic that is distinct to who you are (could change over time, etc.).
Not all diversity is visible, so use your critical thinking skills to highlight something about yourself that is unique.
What do you want us to know about your diversity?
What challenges does society present you because of your diversity?
