Different people Quote by Crystal Yang
“Diversity is not only skin deep. Take a chance... Approach different people... Listen to their life story. You will learn about their diverse life experiences and maybe even find a connection between their life, and your life. It doesn't hurt to go beyond the 'What's your name?' or Which college are you from?' questions.”
