While attending Auburn University, I chose to devote a large amount of my time to studying diversity. I wanted to be prepared to work in a diverse work environment with people from all walks of life. I decided not to focus on diversity in the most basic of culture, but explored diversity in a variety of contexts like social class, education level, gender identity, and several other aspects. While studying diversity, I also decided to focus some of my studies on the difficulties these different groups would face in multiple contexts.
