Diversity	
  is:	
  
•  Different.	
  
•  More	
  than

•  What’s	
  within	
  you,	
  what	
  makes	
  you	
  different	
  than	
  the	
  person	
  
next	
  to	
  you.	
  
•  Examples:	
  only	
  child,	
  disabled,	
  hobbies

  a

Each

  would	
  be	
  featured

  for	
  all

  in	
  the

  what	
  they	
  loved	
  about

  on	
  a

  and	
  a

  It	
  showed	
  how	
  every
