Diversity Wheel Reflection

While I was filling the Diversity Wheel out, I realized that some of the things that are vastly important to a lot of people don't weigh very heavily on my view of the world. Things like Cultural Heritage and Religion don't matter as much to me as they might someone else. I don't have a very strong cultural heritage and my religious views are sort of nebulous in that I don't really attend church and I'm not entirely loyal to the church I was baptized in as a middle schooler. I'm always open to new ideas in the religious realm.
The most important things to me were Education and Intellect. I'm really serious about school, it's more important than my job (which relates in no way to what I want to do later in life, by the way...) I concentrate on getting the best grades I can possibly get, which end up usually in the A to B range. I get a lot of validation from my GPA. I also really identify myself as a Writer and an Artist, Writing and Art being my major and minor.
This whole thing makes sense to me now because usually when I make opinions, I try to see things from varying points of view from various sources before making up my own mind. This process seems to tap into the fact that I'm open to new things (ala my shifting religious views) and that I value education within myself. I like to feel completely educated about something before I commit to defending an opinion of my own, which can take a long time to develop.
