Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?Growing up, one of the moments that marked me the most was going to a Moto GP race with my father. Sharing that day with him was special because motorsports was a passion we genuinely had in common and we would often watch the races together. When we are together, we talk about the riders, the bikes, and the competition. I must have been around 9 or 10 years old, and actually being there in person, side by side with my dad, made me feel incredibly excited and connected to him. It wasn’t just about the race — it was about creating a memory with my father, bonding over something we both loved.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?I identify most with my full brother because we think the same. I have always felt a very strong connection with my brother, and I identify with him more than with anyone else in my immediate family.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?I admire the personality. Personality means a lot to me, and one of the traits I admire most in a person is honesty — I truly value when someone is genuine and transparent in the way they act. I believe honesty builds respect and trust, and creates a relationship where both sides mirror this sincerity.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?Looking back, one of the funniest moments happened when I fell off a treehouse-style cage that my friends and I had built. I was about 11 or 12 years old, and naturally very adventurous. We had decided to climb and play inside this makeshift “tree cage,” pretending it was our secret base. While I was trying to show off some “ninja moves,” I slipped and ended up falling straight onto the ground. Luckily nothing serious happened.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?I would travel to Japan because I love the culture.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I would like to pass on not just my general knowledge, but specifically a few skills that I believe can truly make a difference in someone’s life. First, I’d love to teach them resilience — the ability to keep pushing forward even when things get difficult, because I think that mindset opens doors. Second, I’d aim to pass on financial wisdom and discipline, so they can make smart decisions and be independent. Lastly, I would want to pass on emotional intelligence: knowing how to treat people with respect, understand others, and build strong relationships. These are things I learned over time and I believe they can help guide them through life.
