| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My most memorable childhood experience is when I went to China to adopt my sister. Since I could remember I always wanted a sibling, so the day we got my sister has to be the most memorable experience of my childhood. Also I was in China for fifteen days, which was a very eye-opening experience for me. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I most closely identify with my mother. She is the one who has been there the most for me in my family. I also get along with her the best and am able to confide my life to her the most. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire loyalty, responsibility, humor, open-mindedness, and thoughtfulness. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | So I broke my leg in 7th grade playing basketball during winter with some friends in my driveway. My leg twisted and broke. I had a spiral fracture. What was humorous about it was that as my friends were carrying me inside they opened up the fence and my dogs ran out. One of the friends who was carrying me was extremely scared of dogs so he dropped me and started running away. I fell and it was extremely painful, and the dogs thought the kid wanted to play with them so they chased him. My other friend called out for my dad who eventually came out and carried me in. On the way to the couch in the living room we had to walk through the kitchen and he hit my leg on the refrigerator. I started screaming out in pain, and woke up one of my friends taking a nap on the couch. My friend started yelling at me for waking him up, not knowing what had happened to me. Finally they got me to the couch and I'm in just horrible pain. I'm looking out the window and I see my friend still being chased by the dogs as he hops over a neighbor's fence. I couldn't help but laugh but laughing only created more pain. They finally got me to the hospital and since then my leg has fully recovered. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would travel to Brazil for the 2014 World Cup. I would fly into Venezuela or Peru and then backpack my way to Rio de Janeiro, where I could then go to several of the soccer games. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would like to pass on to my children open-mindedness, caring, thoughtfulness, humor, self-esteem, and love for traveling. |
