Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?I'll always remember when I went skiing with my mother for the first time. We had just moved to Germany and the winter was a rough one. She took us to this small village at the base of the tallest mountain in the country and we skied at night. I remember hitting a patch of ice and tumbling down the rest of the slope.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?I identify best with my father seeing as I am told by many people that we are the most alike in the family. I don't look like him as much as my brother, but my personality is a reflection of his. I aspire to be like him and can't wait to grow up to be as good of a man as he is.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?I prefer someone humble, loyal, smart, funny, and someone who cares about the needs of others.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?When we went down to Key West for the weekend. I was with my family, and we were walking down Duval Street. The people are known to be very eccentric down there and we walked into a Key Lime Pie place and saw an old man wearing nothing but a jock strap ordering and everyone seeming like it was normal.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?I would travel across Europe as I have lived in Germany and would love to see more of the rest of the continent. I loved the architecture and the people. Some of the culture is vastly different from what we have here in the states and I would love to be able to experience more of it.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I would love to pass on all the values that my family instilled in me. I would love to become a good father and nothing more than to spoil them to the depths of my pockets. I want to watch them flourish and to show them what I know and how it changes me to raise them.
