I'm a rising senior and I'm applying early action to smu.

I need help with this prompt

SMU is a diverse learning environment shaped by the convergence of ideas and cultures. How will your unique experiences or background enhance the University, and how will you benefit from this community?

I'm kinda confused about what to write

The first part of the prompt is asking you to explain your race, ethnicity, religion, culture, philosophy, life stories, interests, or any other aspect of identity. You should then explain how you will enhance SMU by imparting a unique perspective on your peers and supporting others who are like you.

For the second part of the prompt, you should explain why you value diversity. Mention a few specific SMU resources you would take advantage of to explore it, e.g. a multicultural center or center for social justice. Hope this helps!
