Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?My most memorable childhood experience would have to be when I was eleven and traveled to New Zealand and Australia for a student ambassador program. Not only did we get to see all the beautiful sights of both countries, we shared many different cultural experiences. From the tribes people of New Zealand to the hard-working farmers in the Australian countryside, all of us there were captivated by the lessons we were taught and experiences we shared.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?The family member I most closely identify with would have to be my uncle. He is a very intelligent man who likes to do and try anything. He has been to many places all over the world and I envy that. I would love to be able to travel and come back to family that loves me. We get along great and share so many interests. This is whom I'd say I most identify with but I am very proud of being my own individual.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?There are many traits I admire in an individual, but to keep it short I would have to say intelligence, humor, and individuality. I love a person who I can talk to, and usually if they are missing one of these qualities it can lead to a rather dull conversation.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?This is probably the hardest question in the survey. I love to laugh and have a good time so there are so many memorable moments. One of the funniest would have to be in my senior year of high school. A good friend and I joined the talent show doing the Chippendale's routine from SNL with Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze. We had an amazing time and ended up winning the contest.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?If money was not an issue I would travel around the world. Although this isn't very specific, it has always been a dream of mine. There are so many sights around the world I want to be able to see for myself. From the Great Wall of China to the ice sheets in the Arctic and down to the volcanoes in Hawaii, I want to be able to see it all first hand.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I would love to have children for myself one day when I am established and ready to bring another life into this world. But the few things I would love for my children to take from me is my good conscience and my outgoing-ness. I have made some very good decisions thus far in my life with a lot of peer pressure around me. Also, I love being my own person and trying new things, so I would love for my children to share in my outgoing spirit.
