The College of Augsburg is an institution that not only offers me the positive reputation of its excellent school, but also a smaller student body that holds many versatile ideas and ways of living. It is one of the few colleges that is truly committed to the overall success and diversity of the students who enroll there. After many months of researching schools, The College Augsburg is the institution where I would most like to study. The college seems to have an enormous selection of programs and qualities that will overall benefit me as a person, and in return, I am willing to do all that can be possibly done to enrich the inclusive and diverse community if I were able to go there.
Facing the facts, I am a Caucasian, middle class, suburban teenager living in the moderately big town of Duluth, Minnesota. While I'm not diverse in terms that is most typically measured in diversity (race, ethnicity, etc.), I am very different in my personality. I am always very much open-minded and trying to learn about the world around me. Unlike many people, I realize that the encounters we have with diversity remind us how little superficial differences really matter. Although I am not one to have experienced the setbacks of being a minority in a time where "outsiders" were given less opportunities, I realize that no one should ever feel like a minority in a community that I support because everyone is alike regardless of religion, political views, sexual orientation, and social class. In the end, we are all human beings who are capable of expressing the many emotions of happiness, love, hate, guilt, and sadness. That being said, I am a very life-loving, friendly person. I want to share my optimism and open-minded personality with all those around me at The College of Augsburg. I believe that with much diligence and dedication, anyone can succeed in what they want in life no matter who they are. All one has to do is set their mind on their aspirations and work towards it.
