Application Essay Question: Diversity

The nature of this question is tough because I am a white male. Should I focus only on my personal talents/traits and experiences as a nurse extern, and not really include any cultural aspects? I feel like I have many talents, and experiences to write about but I don't want to give a generic answer when the question is obviously asking for more. Maybe it should be an opinion piece about a nurses compassion for humanity regardless of class, gender, race, age, etc...?

Please give me some ideas on how to tackle this:

At the University of _____, we are committed to building a superb educational community with students of diverse talents, experiences, opinions, and cultural backgrounds. What would you as an individual bring to our campus community and the nursing profession?

If it were me, I would focus on the talents, experiences, etc. Definitely don't say anything like, "I am a white male, so I know I won't add to the cultural diversity of the school." Just focus on the positive aspects of your background that will contribute to making the program more diverse in a very broad sense.

Do like my friend did when she was writing for her nursing instructors. Tell them what they want to hear. Be politically correct and focus on your writing skills. Do not state that you are a white male. Just be politically correct. That is what they want to hear. Good luck.
