Because we know that diversity benefits the educational experience of all students, the University of Maryland values diversity in all of its many forms.  This includes (but is not limited to) racial, socio-economic, gender, geographical, and sexual orientation.  We are interested in hearing about your own individual life experiences.  In a few sentences, will you please describe how you have learned, grown, been inspired or developed skills through one or more components of diversity.

This is, as the title suggests, typical. I am saving it here as a real-life example of how normal people were forced, literally as the price of admission, to participate in this toxic and divisive ideology.
