女兒參加比賽的作文

一年一度的反思計劃（PTA Reflections program）比賽落下了帷幕，女兒的作文學校出線，參加了學區的比賽。她的兩個同學走得更遠，得了繪畫與跳舞大獎。

今年的比賽題目是：多樣性意味著。。。

這是女兒參加比賽的作文。

Diversity means…

Diversity means many things. If you ask me what diversity means and give me only ten seconds to answer, I would say that it means the difference between people’s skin color, eye color… basically, outward appearances. Still, what if there were twins that looked exactly the same, right down to their clothing, and I was supposed to figure out what diversity means, based on that? My answer would be different. I would answer that it isn’t just outward appearances and looks; it’s also about inside intangible things, too. The twins may look the same, but one could be a natural scientist, and the other might be the most talented artist in the family. They might completely balance each other out, one being introvert and the other is totally 100% talkative. On the other hand, two friends may look so different that nobody could mistake them for family, but are almost like copycats because they have the exact same talents, and the exact same likes and dislikes.

Diversity means the difference between looks and personality, or outward appearances and skills. If there was no such thing as diversity, we would all just be a big bunch of copycats in every single way. Diversity can also be the difference between jobs, and between religions. People just out of their teens could be found in MacDonald’s stores, flipping burgers, but their parents could be the owners or CEOs of various companies. Some people might be Jewish, but their neighbors might be Christian. Maybe others could also be Muslim, Buddhist, or non-religious. One girl could be left-handed, but that girl’s brother might be right-handed. Their mom could have green eyes, and their dad could have brown eyes, but wears tinted contacts and pretends to have hazel eyes. The sibling’s uncle, from their mom’s side, could be a voracious reader of non-fiction while their other uncle could in fact be the author of a great deal of fiction books.

In a way, diversity is the borders that separate our identities from others, from our names, to our likes and dislikes.
