Attending a diverse high school has helped influence my desire to attend George Washington University's diversity fly-in program. My high school is made up students with many different backgrounds, ethnicities, and religions, so I have never felt out of place. I am half Egyptian and half Uzbek, so attending a diverse school is a big factor in determining where I attend. At my high school I have met students from many different countries and backgrounds, including Guyana, China, Mexico, Lebanon, and many other countries. I did not expect to become friends with people from many different cultures; however, having friends from different cultures has opened my eyes and helped me experience new things I thought I would never try.
