People talk about diversity, but this is the time to show the interviewer you have experience working in diverse environments. It is a skill to be able to talk to people from all backgrounds. Show how you are open and willing to learn and how diversity is a good thing rather than a challenge.

"When I was in high school, I got a summer job as a camp helper in the city. The camp served families that were recent immigrants to the US. It was the first time I had built relationships with kids that were completely different from myself. There are cultural differences, but in the end, it is about showing that kid or that person you care for them, and you are there for them. It was fun to share experiences with them and learn about their cultures. It taught me how important it is to be open to what you may not be familiar with."
