Life's Classroom - Diversity

Respect the Diveristy of Cultures and People

Imagine a planet where everyone looked the same, spoke the same language, and had the same interests.

How boring would that be? Fortunately, the gift of our world's diversity is exposure to a variety of people.

You will have countless opportunities to experience a mixture of music,

food, dance, and cultural traditions throughout your life.

Take the time to learn about the people around you and celebrate their uniqueness.

In doing so, you will be amazed at how much more enjoyable your life will become. (S. Finelli)
