. Describe an experience you have had in interacting/relating with people whose backgrounds are different than your own.

My experience in interacting and relating with someone from another background that is different from mine has always opened me up to seeing life from a different perspective.

A striking experience took place during my service year in 2017-2018. I lived with different young people from different cultures and languages. We had to cook, eat, plan, pray and go to work together.

During this period, there were times of disagreement among ourselves. Also, our eating preferences differ. One example is when a young man in our midst prepared a particular food with a local spice which many of us don't use. But that's what they use from where he was coming from. Some of us were not able to eat that particular food.

My interaction with people from other background made me to learn the following:

1. Tolerate everyone

2. Sometimes, allow people to have their own way.

3. Unity is key to enjoying a healthy relationship with people.

4. Respect everyone's opinion even if it doesn't suit yours.

Such experience has been of help to me as I grow and go in life.
