Stepping into Diversity

Placing yourself in a whole new environment and breaking the ice with many new people and experiences can be exciting yet a little nerve-wrecking at the same time. Openly and positively interacting with others that don’t quite share the same personality or don’t have the same character as you do is a breakthrough with reaching out beyond what you normally are accustomed to. Learning something new in which you’ve never came across to before opens up a whole new world of possibilities that you may never have thought would spark your interest.

I knew college was going to be a fresh new start and a journey of  growth and development, not only academically, but personally as well. For those of you going into college, the first piece of advice I could give is to make sure you go into the experience with an open mind. You’ll discover a lot about yourself just from going out there and stepping into new grounds of diversity you may have never known of before. To me, GE classes are great to start off with. Yes, at times it can be frustrating to go through because you might be itching to want to go straight into your major, but taking classes on things you’ve never really learned about before can not only expand your horizons of thought and perspective, but can open doors to a whole new arena of possible endeavors. Who would have known?!

Think about the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone and started doing something new, like for instance, transferred to another school, or started a new sport or joined a club. Any experience you come across to always helps you grow, whether it was a good experience or a not-so-good one!

The world may be your oyster, but college is what helps opens the shell to discover the world. The more people you meet and the different cultures and experiences you immerse yourself into will help you develop a well rounded idea of who you might want to be and what you want to do!
