Start Seeing Diversity

          DIVERSITY

                                                                    dIfferert

                                                   Yet Very much the same

                              All part of the human racE.

                                Because of differences, Respected by some

                                                                      Shown bias by others.

                                                                      In search of understanding,

                                                                      Teaching others the value of

   individualitY

 

                        Begins with you and me.

In the above poem, I spelled the word diversity (the letters kind of mixed up on the spacing).  I have learned that educating others is critical in creating true anti-bias conditions.  In looking inside, I have gained an insight into my areas of growth that is needed, as well as the strength to conquer biases.  I also have been empowered to speak when I see bias occurring.  This class has been a treasure trunk in my journey!
