    While working in the Financial Aid field I have had the privilege of working with a number of different individuals of diverse backgrounds. I have come across people from all walks of life, including those with severe disabilities, individuals with limited resources, and even individuals with different cultural and ethical backgrounds. Each encounter has been unique in its own way with learning experiences that I have carried with me through my years of employment. Additionally when growing up I grew up in a very diverse area and have had personal experiences with working with people of various ethnicities, social, economical and physical backgrounds. Through the years I have learned to never judge a book by its cover and have learned that working with different types of people may have its challenges at times, but it is never impossible to work with different types of people regardless of their backgrounds. With my life experiences, both professionally and personally, working with such a broad range of individuals has assisted me in growing professionally and has shown me that I have the ability to work with just about anyone I come in contact with. As with anything in life, the effort and understanding that you apply to the situation is what you will get out of it. slfjsdfjlfjsldfjdlfkjas fj jfakfjfjaffjalkfj afjaflajfajfajfalsfjalfka kldfjafj akdfjafj;af ljdfafl;ajfWhile working in the Financial Aid field I have had the privilege of working with a number of different individuals of diverse backgrounds.
