Answer Example
"I have worked as a reading teacher in both private and public schools. In both settings, I worked with students of color, students who celebrate different cultural traditions and religions than I do, and students with varying ability levels. I welcome diversity and appreciate all of the different perspectives it has exposed me to. I think we are all made better when we begin to understand the experience of another."
