| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | I would say my most memorable childhood experience was adopting my childhood dog. It was at an adoption event at our local mall, and I saw him in one of the kennels and we instantly clicked. After much begging, I convinced my parents to adopt him. After that, we were the best of friends for the better part of ten years. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I identify very closely with my grandmother. Her and I have a very close bond. We share a lot of interests and have similar personalities. We were close when I was growing up and continue to be to this day. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire empathy, honesty, and kindness. I feel that having these traits is most important to me. Being kind and empathetic in my eyes are the signs of a good heart, while honesty is indicative of a good mind. I think these three traits are what I admire most about the people I surround myself with. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | I would say the funniest thing that's ever happened to me is accidentally getting in the wrong car after class ended during grade school and going home with the wrong family. I made it all the way to their house and was too afraid to speak up! I suppose they carpooled with other children, so they didn't pay any mind to me being in the car until they got home and realized I wasn't one of their carpool kids! |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would travel to the South Pole to do wildlife photography. I think another would be to take a special submersible to the depths of the ocean, maybe the twilight zone. My final dream destination would be outer space. I would love to see the moon in person. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would like to pass on to them my curiosity for the world. I feel that it is what motivates me to always be learning and trying new things. I think it makes my life very fun and interesting and would be something I would love to pass down. |
