What is your most memorable childhood experience?It would have to be attending my family reunion when I was little. It was the first time my mother's side of the family was all under one roof and I was able to meet all my cousins and connect with them. I still have relationships with them to this day and am grateful to have met them.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?It would have to be my grandfather who passed away. He was a hard worker and really provided for his family no matter what. His memory lives on through me and I strive to be more and more like him every day.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?Some traits I admire would have to be family values, honesty, and respect. Anyone who can be fully transparent or treat others with respect will always earn my admiration.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?There’s a lot of stories to choose from, but they have to be with my siblings. Every time I am with them, they always find ways to humble me or make fun of the things that I say. Sometimes it's hard to fight back when it's the truth.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?I would love to travel to Europe! Italy, England, Iceland, and Greenland have all been bucket list places for me to visit since I was little. I feel those countries have so much to offer that the US couldn’t. Plus, the scenery is beautiful, I wouldn’t want to miss it.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?Physically I would like to pass on to them as many heirlooms as possible. I feel it holds a lot of emotional value that they could always look back on and keep in their lives. But emotionally, I would like to pass on my knowledge and stories as to what I went through, so they don’t make the same mistakes and learn at an early age.
