Understanding My Own Diversity

I often request people complete this exercise prior to coming to class. I will then weave the content of this exercise into my diversity workshop and in the process participants learn about themselves and the people around them.

  1.   Where were you born?
  2.   Where did you grow up and how did that influence who you are today?
  3.   Where are your parents from? Where are your grandparents and great grandparents from?
  4.   What generation American are you? (excludes Native Americans of course)
  5.   How many siblings are in your family and are you the oldest, youngest, etc.?
  6.   How did your birth order influence who you are today?
  7.   As a child, which adult had a major influence in your life and why?
  8.   What do you remember most about your favorites holidays and traditions as you were growing up?
  9.   What unique qualities and characteristics do you possess that come from your unique upbringing?
  10. . What was your most memorable encounter with someone from another culture/race?
  11. . Describe a time you experienced prejudice or discrimination?
  12. . Please list your hobbies and interests.
  13. . Please describe a risk or a surprise about you that no one can tell by looking at you.

When you went through this exercise, was there anything else that came to mind? Your questions and concerns are welcome.
