| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My most memorable childhood experience would have to be the time I was out walking my dog through a large field when he caught the scent of something and ran off. I followed him, and when I found him he had his head buried in a hole. I reached down and pulled him loose, only to find out that he had been chasing a skunk into its burrow, at which point the skunk sprayed both of us. Both me and the dog stank for days, even after trying all of the home remedies such as bathing in tomato juice. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I closely identify with my father because we were both destined to take our own path, regardless of what was put in front of us. We both strive to be honest at all times, and maintain our own dignity through careful consideration of outcomes, rather than doing what other people may think is the best option at the time. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire honesty, punctuality, and the ability to communicate effectively. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | The funniest thing that has ever happened to me is probably being sprayed by a skunk because my dog wanted to stick his head down into the skunk's burrow. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would travel everywhere that I could make it to in order to immerse myself in other cultures, to help people in need, and to learn where I have come from as a human being. |
| 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 a sense of honesty, punctuality, leadership, and pride in themselves and their story. |
