2. COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY ESSAY
In order to gain an international perspective and learn more about the West’s culture, after my
11th grade in Vietnam, I decided to enroll in a cultural exchange program in the U.S. Living with a local
family and going to high school in the U.S. East Coast (I went to a small private high school in New
Hampshire), I absorbed U.S. culture, both high and popular culture.
However, after graduating from high school in the U.S., I realized there is one more aspect of life
that I need to enrich myself. That is social experience. I took a year off from school to volunteer, travel
and work. After coming back from the U.S., with the hope of sharing what I learned from my journey in
America to people from my hometown, I decided to help at a local English speaking club. I was
volunteering as a MC, facilitating discussions, assisting young Vietnamese college students with their
English speaking skill and sharing them my stories from the trip to America.
I worked as a waiter in a Japanese restaurant and after two months of learning how a restaurant
business attract, retain and serve customers, I switched to another job: commercial tourist driver. This
job was heavily challenging for a young driver like me at the time. As a duty of a “long-distance cab
driver,” I was required to drive long hours every day on Vietnam’s poor highways and road conditions.
However, thanks to the job, I had opportunities to learn from experienced tour guides and gained a deep
understanding about how the tourist companies generate revenue. After doing the two jobs, I gained
insights into both food and beverage and tourism industries. More importantly, through putting myself
in these positions, I also stood a golden chance to meet new people and hone my communication skill. I
met with a lot of people who are from low class and have to deal with economic disadvantage. I
realized if I could open myself up to those people and get to know them, I could always benefit myself
by learn something from them. It is my strong belief that it does not matter who I meet, there is always
something unique to learn from him/her.
After a year off from school, I was ready to go to school again. Villanova University promised a
lot of thrilling experience. The exchange year in New Hampshire helped me a lot. Fluent in English
and understanding the U.S. culture, I made friends easily and surrounded myself with interesting and
brilliant people. I hanged out with not only U.S. students but also students from different background

3. like Indian, Chinese, and other minority groups. It is very hard to keep a diverse group of friends but
also interesting and worthwhile to have one. I learned about different cultures and practiced my
language skill (I studied Chinese during my year off from formal education).
Diversifying myself by learning, working and making friends pays off. But more importantly, I
enjoy doing it.
