Homework/Diversity
The meaning of diversity is a different kind, form, character trait, family, commmunity etc. Long story short it is something that is different. I have a diverse life, infact everybody have a diverse life. Nobody have the same traits or the same features. I have a different name, different personality and different traditions. Our world lives on being diverse. If we live in a place where people have the same life it would be a disaster. I believe that nobody have the same life though people may have similar traits. For example a son might be tall like his parent s or even grandparents. This is my meaning of the word diversity.

Daquan, I can tell that you really thought about this question. Pay attention to subject/verb agreement (remember singular verbs, singular nouns). For example: everybody has or nobody has. You said that "if we live in a place where people have the same life it would be a disaster." What do you mean by that? Can you think of a book we read that you are basing this off of?
How do we see diversity in our own school?
