Entry Level
"While completing my program at a local childcare center, I taught children in a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds. It was intriguing to see how children do not notice any differences. They just want to play with each other and make new friends."

Answer Example
"I have worked with students from various backgrounds ever since I started teaching five years ago. One of the most memorable was when I worked with a child who was a recent immigrant from Sudan. Her English skills snowballed because I would spend an extra 30 minutes with her before school started. She was such an eager and fast learner, I will never forget that rewarding experience."
