I wouldn't put this in a diversity statement. Just highlight it on your resume/personal statement. Many apps have a section that asks about language ability as well. If you speak putonghua add it in that section as well.

"Should I do a diversity statement?"

What flavor of statement is it??? Asian persuasian, Jungle fever, or hot latina?

Does she have a pretty face??? Figure????

What out for baby daddy's and exes. could be tough.


If you venture to start, use protection. You dont want to be a dad now.

Depends on the school and how you spin it. Just saying you taught English abroad for a year probably isn't going to make you stand out as much. Now, if that experience gave you a perspective on the world that you think is truly unique, go for it, but be sure to find a way to explain exactly how and why. You don't necessarily have to fit into the "standard" categories of diversity (race/ethnicity/relition/sexual orientation/disability) to write a DS, although I agree with the general consensus and would also say that it may be more effort for you than you would gain from it. Whatever you decide, good luck!
