The opportunity for diversity in
a multicultural society
is like the menu of a great cook.
Each culture, like each dish, is capable
of standing alone
to provide a palate treat.
And all contribute life giving nourishment.
But the taste treat and nourishment
become even stronger when served
as part of a seven course dinner.
Every course benefits from the others.
A community of learners
is like these gourmet meals;
better when variety is provided.
Each student brings different cultural
experience to school and from these
separate dishes the teacher makes
a delightful meal.
A major contribution from everyone.
A gourmet cook flourishes with respect
and the use of many foods.
