Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?Every summer as a child we used to go to Daytona Beach in Florida. There are a lot of beaches in Florida but there is something different about Daytona. Not only can you have a great time doing beach activities, but there are also really cool things to do like hanging out on the pier and going to the different car and bike events. I still enjoy cars to this day so I really appreciate spending time down there.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?My father, because I act just like him, and picked up most of his traits.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?I appreciate honesty and determination in a person. Honesty is the foundation of any good relationship. It is because of that trait that people can trust and rely on others. I also really value determination. I have seen a lot of people in my generation lack this trait, giving up too easily when things get hard or require hard work. Determination is the key to achieving your goals, and even if it is a tough road to get there, you will appreciate the end result so much more.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?There are far too many funny/good memories with friends and family to pick only one.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?Somewhere tropical, because I love the beach and the warm weather.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I would like my children to understand the importance of humility. It is an important trait to have in an age of social media where a lot of people love to brag about everything. I was taught to be sincere and humble and I believe that both of these traits are qualities which command respect. I also wish for my children to be knowledgeable. I would like them to know, and hopefully be interested in the things I care about. Even if we share different interests I believe a desire to learn more about the world will help them to go far.
