| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | Some of my favorite memories of my childhood were of my family's yearly trip to an amusement park. My parents would take a week off and we would go to the park every day. We would get to the park early and wait in line until it opened. My two brothers and I would work together to convince my dad to let us stay there as late as possible every night. The most memorable year was the first year that I had the courage to ride the biggest roller coaster there. I also remember my little brother and I running as fast as we could from the exit of the roller coaster to the entrance, to make sure we could ride it as many times as possible. I looked forward to the trip every summer and counted down the days after the trip was planned. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I identify with my dad very well. He is a very reasonable and levelheaded person who is respected by everyone. He has also always been very supportive and proud of me. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire people who are intelligent, modest, and emotionally intelligent. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | I can't really think of the funniest thing that "ever" happened to me, but something kind of funny happened recently at work. Shortly after I started my job, we had a human foosball tournament for an employee fun day. During the tournament, the ball flew out of the ring and the girl beside me moved out of the way just before it was about to hit her. The ball pelted me in the face leaving a red mark. Everyone started laughing and from then on out I was known as the guy who got hit in the face at the foosball party. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would travel to third world countries and historical sites. I frequently volunteer at homeless shelters. From my personal experience, I look at my life a lot differently and am more optimistic afterwards. I would like to visit historical sites that were around in the Roman times or Middle Ages. Those periods have always fascinated me. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would like to pass on my work ethic because I want my kids to achieve great things. I would also like my kids to value every human being and see things from other people's perspectives. |
