Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?When I was a child I lived next to an empty lot. Every fall all the neighboring kids would go to the empty lot and rake a big ring with the leaves. We played a game with the leaves where you would get put in the ring with another kid and would have to push the other kid out of the ring before he pushed you out. We would hold little tournaments and be out there all day long.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?I closely identify with my sister the most out of my immediate family. We have both had to deal with things but we help each other in any way possible. We have both already moved out of the house but we will still get together for dinner or just to hangout.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?Two of the most important traits to me in a person are reliability and trust. Even if you are a busy person and can't always give attention to people it's okay as long as you are there when you're needed the most or you are there when you say you will be. I also need to be able to trust a person. I need to know I can tell that person something personal and they will take it seriously and won't tell other people if that is what I ask.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?One of the funniest things I can remember happening to me would be when my little brother scared me. I was sleeping in my room on my bed and my friend was sleeping on my floor. I wake up for what I think is nothing but then I hear someone whispering my name into my ear. My heart skipped a beat and I almost started punching the air but instead, I jump out of bed and turned on the lights and see my little 4 year old brother sitting on my bed. I was so scared in the moment but once I found out that it was my brother my friend and I laughed really hard.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?I have always wanted to travel to Japan. I love the Japanese culture and all of the quirky things they have over there. I want to try sleeping in a capsule hotel, the random street food stands, and to walk around Tokyo. I also have looked into a multiple-day trip that starts at the north end of the island then you take a train to different destinations going all the way down to the south end of the island. I would really love to go.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I would like to pass onto them how to be a good person and how to work hard. I am not trying to sound like I am full of myself but I am told often that I have a good head on my shoulders and that I work hard by my bosses. I believe just showing that you are willing to work hard and that you make smart decisions brings you a long way in life because your employers will feel like they can entrust more to you. Also just being a good person is something I wish everyone was but sadly not everyone is but I would make sure my children were good people before they leave the house.
