What is your most memorable childhood experience? | I vividly remember, when I was about 10, I had picked up a hobby to play with ants. It was a kid's version of raising an ant colony where I would spend hours barricading a small area with twigs and small plants. I then would look for ants and place them in the barricaded area and observe their behavior and how they interacted with each other. |
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I identify most with my brother. We both love our family strongly, but we do not openly show our emotions. |
What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire grit and humility in an individual. I think these traits resemble my own personality. I don't like to give up easily as I hold perseverance as my mantra. I strongly believe that no matter how successful one becomes, they should always be down to earth, humble, and respectful of people around them. |
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | When I was a kid, my close friend came along on my first date with a girl I had recently met. A few days later, the two of them started dating. |
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would travel to Italy, Turkey, Spain, and Israel. I loved reading about cultural and religious wars in Medieval Europe. I want to visit places I have read about in history books. |
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would like them to be confident yet humble, emotionally strong yet willing to be vulnerable when needed, inquisitive and outspoken yet willing to listen to others. I would like them to be motivated and driven with a purpose, and I would like them to help selflessly to anyone in need. |
