When you think of the United States, what do you see? Well maybe you're thinking it's the "Land of the Free" and all that other stuff that global textbooks teach us. Yeah, sure it is, but most importantly what makes the US the United States is the diversity within our nation. We take a look back and we'll see the segregation among our people before Martin Luther King Jr.'s life changing speech. But now when we take a look around, we see that we are all different in our own ways but together as one, we are just people.
People with different hair, different eyes, different skin color. People with different thoughts, different ideas, and different opinions. This is what we are. Without diversity, our world would be boring. Everyone acting the same, talking the same, and even looking the same would bore us to tears.
Never give up on who you are. Appreciate where you come from, no matter what anyone says. You are one of millions who make up this diverse nation. Just remember, "what lies before you and what lies behind you are nothing compared to what lies within you." :)
