What is your most memorable childhood experience? | There are many, many memorable childhood experiences, which makes it very hard to pick one. But if I had to pick one, I would go with a sad one because it left a deep impression on me at a very early age. I was four years old, it was raining heavily and my mom sent me to the grocery store with my elder sister. Long story short, I was running on the way back home, slipped in some mud and crashed my head on a rock. Got three stitches on the forehead that eventually disappeared, but the lesson of not running in the rainy dark remains :). I guess the lasting impression it left was to never disobey instructions from those who know better. |
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | My dad. I feel we are more alike than I ever even thought possible. For me, the ability to think without getting emotions involved, fulfilling one's responsibility and honoring one's word are the most important features a human being can have. I have them, and as I grow older, I realize where I get it from. |
What character traits do you admire in an individual? | Honesty, courage, practical mindedness, trustworthiness, generosity, justice and a sense of humor. |
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | I used to sing a lot when I was younger and once, on the stage, in front of hundreds of people, I sang a song completely jumbled up :). Like I totally blanked and then picked up what I could remember and kinda just went with it :) |
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would be in Africa or Iraq or Syria or Afghanistan helping the orphans and looking after them the way they deserve to be looked after. |
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | My sense of humor, my practicality, my honesty and my sense of honor. |
