Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?In my first year of summer camp, my cabin performed a now long forgotten skit called Camp Magic. I was the main character, going and giving everyone an intangible ball of happiness. 11 years later I am still going to this camp as part of the staff.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?My brother and and I are closest in age, so we were basically treated as twins. Most of my days were spent with him growing up and it left an impression. He is a genius, so I developed an extremely strong work ethic to keep up with him.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?I believe the most admirable trait anyone can have is true self love. Not someone who just treats themselves or someone who believes they are great, but a person who truly accepts who they are and doesn’t make excuses.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?Not one singular moment could be the funniest. I live my life by my perspective and by telling stories to others about my life. I never tell dad or boring stories because those don’t really matter, my life is only fun and funny to others because that’s what’s important to remember.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?I’d go to the farthest outreaches of space, unknown alien worlds, and massive black holes. There are places in this universe that are out of my reach unless I move faster than light, so if time wasn’t an issue I’d go to places that are impossible to get to.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?All I would ever want is for them to give love and be loved. The world always needs more love and a lot less hate.
