Experience with research writing
I have had to do many research papers in high school. I hated every single one. I hate doing them, i hate researching topics that aren't interesting and I hate how long they have to be. I never really get a good grade because I hate them so much. Most of teachers made us present them in front of the class, which I hated even more. I have never really had a good experience with research papers, so hopefully I will this time if and when we do one.

What Diversity/Multiculturalism means
To me diversity and multiculturalism mean many different races or ethnic backgrounds. A diverse group of people where everyone is different. But, after researching this topic and reading Demystifying Multiculturalism, I found that diversity meant a range of different things, many different kinds or types of people, human qualities that different from our own and the groups to which we belong, and multiculturalism meant the appreciation or promotion of multiple cultures or cultural awareness. My initial answer I think was close, but not to the degree of the answer I found after researching the topic. I think in Chavez's essay she is trying to say multiculturalism is just something the government came up with so that people of different nationalities didn't feel like they were being treated differently than Americans, and that it didn't really help the different cultural groups or the country at all.
