| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My most memorable experience in childhood was going on a ride with my grandpa in his 1980s Chevy Scottsdale. He had the windows down and everybody waved and said hello to him. I wondered "How do so many people know him?" But then I remembered that he did favors for a lot of people in town, and everyone knew who he was due to all his help. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I'd say my cousin. He is very thoughtful about his decisions and makes sure he isn't engaged in drama or doing anything to get himself in trouble. It seems that he is trying to find himself more and more as life goes on. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | A couple of character traits that I admire in an individual would be compassion because it shows that you have a heart and understand that sometimes the universe has other plans. Humbleness, because it shows that you can be excited about your accomplishments, but you won't brag or look down on anyone because of them. And wittiness, because it shows you have a sense of humor and can always lighten the mood. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | One of the funniest things to happen to me is when me and my two friends back home would skateboard at night downtown. We would have conversations with people we would pass by that were living on the street and they would tell us all sorts of crazy stories. It was always interesting because everyone's story was so different. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | If time and money were not an issue, I would want to travel to a place in the US where there was no pollution, and you can still see the stars and clouds pass by. It has always been a dream of mine to see the northern lights, but stars would be a good enough exception in my experience! |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would like to pass on my knowledge and experiences to my children so that they know what and what not to do. I'd also like to pass along all the cars I've fixed up. And I'd want to make sure they have a sense of consideration for other people and things. |
