What is your most memorable childhood experience? | I remember going to visit my grandparents who lived in a nearby city and being able to play with the local kids in the village. They took really good care of me, and I really felt their love for me. I would always eat tasty homemade food from my grandpa and go on walks to the local shops. |
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I most closely identify with my dad, due to our shared ambitions from a professional standpoint. He is a very successful executive who rose from the bottom of the company all the way to the top. I also share lots of hobbies with him such as golf, sports, and traveling. |
What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire someone's truthfulness, as that indicates they are able to keep to their word. It means I can rely on them for help if I need any, and they are able to express themselves clearly. Most of my best friends are extremely truthful and honest, which I love. |
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | I agreed to sleep in sub-freezing temperatures in a tent just to get tickets to a college basketball game! Looking back, the hurdles I had to go through such as bracing the cold, just to get into a basketball game, is really funny. I would never do something like that again -- compromising my health and comfort! |
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would travel to Antarctica, as that's the most unexplored part of the Earth that few people have ever visited! I would first travel throughout South America, as that's the last remaining major continent that I have never been to, before going down to Antarctica. I love nature and I can already imagine the grand beauty of the glaciers! |
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would pass on to them how to treat others with dignity and respect. I would also pass on to them the value of hard work and discipline, as that can take you very far. Lastly, I would teach them to "break the rules" a bit and not always follow every rule! Challenge the status quo and go the path less travelled. |
