| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My most memorable childhood experience was when I won the state championship in basketball. I worked super hard to achieve that victory and was proud to represent my state and country. Another memorable moment was winning the Math Olympics. This win made my parents very proud, especially my dad, who was also a Math Olympics winner when he was a kid. It was a very emotional and proud moment for him to see his child share the same talent. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I identify with my grandpa because his work ethic has always inspired me. In today's world, it's easy to lose focus and get distracted by a lot of things. People think that success comes quickly, however, my grandpa taught me that everything worthwhile takes time and effort. Without a strong work ethic, I would struggle to achieve my goals. He was a very wise man, and I learned lots of valuable lessons from him. My grandpa will always be my role model, and I try to follow his example every day. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire individuals who possess a strong work ethic and a hunger for knowledge. These traits are important to personal growth and development, and I always try to embody them in my own life. When I find someone who shares these qualities, I admire them. I value people who consistently put in effort, do what is good, and try to learn new things. I also admire people who act with pure intentions, doing things from the heart rather than for monetary gain. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | When I was younger, we dressed up our dog in my clothes and convinced my little sister he was my twin. She thought it was super funny and to this day she will say she spent that whole afternoon trying to teach me how to sit and roll over. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | If I could travel anywhere, I would travel to Aruba. It's a place my family and I used to visit four times a year, but due to work, we haven't been able to go recently. Aruba is a beautiful island, known for its calm atmosphere, amazing food, and the countless memories I have there with my family. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would like to pass on the values of discipline and perseverance. I want them to understand that everything worthwhile comes slowly and steadily, and they must keep trying. In today's world, people often think things come easily, but that's not true. Things can leave as easily as they come. I would also teach them to never take anything for granted, to believe in their principles, and to trust in what they know is right. |
