Cultural Diversity

 
 
I have lived in many different places, and have met a myriad of different people that have influenced the way that I view others around me. In my hometown, Hartshorne, OK, the Caucasian population was very abundant, but there was also a mixture of different cultures to be seen; Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans. Although Caucasians were the majority, I interacted with the other races all the time, and some of them became my good friends. I moved to Walsenburg, CO the summer before my eighth grade year, and found what it was like to be a minority. The Hispanics were the most plentiful people to be found in that area.
 
 


It was a new experience, but I soon found that being a minority is just the same as being the majority; I still conversed and interacted like I did in Hartshorne. I encountered a lot of people that could not believe that I had an African American girlfriend, but I simply told them that it is not about what the person looks like on the outside, but it is what kind of person they are on the inside. In closing, I would not even consider a university if it did not have cultural diversity within it. I met Timpi Webber, and we started to date. I believe that diversity is one of the greatest qualities that a place could have because if I were not exposed to different people and things, I would not be as well rounded as I am today. I was nervous about announcing it to my family because I did not know how they would react, but when I did, they had an immediate welcome for her. There were only a few African Americans and Hispanics in the entire town, so it was not that big of a transition for me. La Veta was a lot like Hartshorne; it was full of Caucasian people. The significant thing about her was she was an African American, and there were not a whole lot of people in my family that had relations with people of that race. We grew to love each other, and when I moved to La Veta, CO, we stayed together. I moved back to Hartshorne the summer before my sophomore year, and lived there for two years. I am grateful for the many people that I have met and for all the experiences that I have had with them because they have changed the way that I look at life and everything in it. All through my life I have moved from town to town, and school to school, and I have always found that there are different people every where I go.
