College Essay Help: Cultural Diversity

<p>Hi! :slight_smile: One of MSU’s application essay questions this year is:</p>

<p>“Briefly discuss an activity or organization that you have participated in, or are currently participating in, outside of your own cultural group.”</p>

<p>I really want to write about my experience volunteering with underprivileged Latino kids, but I’m not sure how to incorporate more about myself in there? I know universities like it when we talk about ourselves, but how do I do that in this type of essay? I could mention that I learned to appreciate Latino culture?? I feel like that sounds cliche . :/</p>

<p>Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!</p>
