Diversity
Diversity is a big part of my life, although I don't notice it as often as I should. I grew up in a place where everyone was the same race and had practically the same backgrounds. As I go through college I see the differences other cultures, races, and religions have. I am thankful for this because I will soon be entering the Hospitality workforce. People of all different backgrounds look for employment in this field and I would like to be understanding and accepting of them. I think that me being a woman will be a little bit of a struggle in the work force, but I plan to prove everyone wrong and manage my own business. I look up to women who can be in charge and not worry about what others think. In today's society gender differences isn't as big of a topic, but it still lingers. In this class I would like to research about women in the workplace and how easy it is to "rise to the top" as opposed to men. My major is mostly business related so this would fit perfectly!

Oh wow..it seems like our expieriences growing up were very dfferent! My town/high school was very very diverse! Granted the majority was caucasion and latino populated, and African Americans/black people were the minority where I grew up, but we still had a great mixture of many different races and ethnicities. I am so glad that your college expierience has introduced you to many different kinds of people. Especially since you are a hospitality major. I don't feel uncomfortable anymore when I notice that I am the onky black person in one of my classes or in the cafe or in a club because I just got used to it in High School. As far as women in the workplace I still think its somewhat difficult for women to get the higher end jobs, certainly not as hard as it used to be though. I think thats a grreat topic to explore! =)
