      "I have challenged myself to spend time with and get to know people who have different backgrounds than I do. This started with some of my community service mentoring work with local income students. My high school was made up of almost exclusively white upper-middle-class students. I befriended a group of African American students with whom I played football, and we formed very close friendships. When I entered Ohio State, I pledged two business fraternities and received offers to join both. The natural fit was the marketing fraternity, but I got out of my comfort zone and joined the business fraternity that was made up of finance students and students from non-business majors. In each of these situations, I made friendships and developed a comfort level with people who may have been from different backgrounds."

      This is a good beginning! Consider expanding your response to include the skills or characteristics you used to build strong friendships with diverse groups or collaborate inclusively with others such as cultural awareness, active listening, open-mindedness, or confronting bias. You can also talk about how using those skills impacted your student relationships or friendships.
