Diversity

Delia Saenz said that when we work with others on tasks, like classroom assignments or work projects, we gain the most knowledge when we are receptive to their contributions. Which is true because working with different people you learn a lot from them. It is a really good thing when you work with different people other then with your friends because we all know are friends and we need to get to know new people.

Diversity in ASU makes our experience more interesting because here at ASU are so many students from different places. Which it is great because you learn about their beliefs and their cultures.

I believe that being from the same place does not mean that we are the same. We all have different characteristics. But again some of us may have some similarities which is also great because we can enjoy doing things that we have in common together. Being different is a really great opportunity to learn from others. For example learn a new language, eat new food, and many other things. I am looking forward to meet new people and learn a lot from them!

I agree that sometimes it's nice to be around people that are like you but also that meeting new people that are not like you helps you grow as a person.

It's pretty cool how diversity works and I agree with how you put it. It is nice to be around people that you are similar too, but it is also really cool to meet new people. By meeting more people who are different, you can bounce ideas off of each other and learn a lot more than if you just stay around the status quo.
