p>I chose this particular sentence because while I understand that race and ethnicity are sensitive and intense topics, I want to genuinely recognize the love and celebration I have for others and how I believe that has made me a better person. In embracing other cultures and getting to know other individuals unlike myself, I have grown beyond words and experienced opportunities I wouldn’t have had I stayed within the circle of other people who walk and talk just as I do.
