How did everyone approach their diversity statement? I am unsure whether I should use anecdotes to explain my diversity or if I should go with a plain vanilla "this is my life." I'd like to include that I am Indian American and the disadvantage of growing up as the only child of 2 immigrant parents who did not go to school here. In addition, I want to talk about the small rural town I grew up in, which further limited my opportunities. What does everyone think? I want to avoid writing a diversity statement that is a bore to read. Any advice? Thanks.
