Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?My fondest memories are of my grandmother on my father's side. I remember visiting her every summer and being greeted by her smile and warmness. She was such a kindhearted person and I never felt so loved from anyone else in my life. We would color and play board games and our favorite was Yahtzee.

What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?One night some friends and I are just hanging out and we decide to play hide and seek. One of the guys in my group of friends is always easily pranked. Anyways, he decides that he's going to hide in the trunk of his dad's car. The friend who was seeking, knocks on the car, not actually expecting anyone to be in it, but of course this guy is. He asks us to let him out so we, while laughing uncontrollably, decide to mess with him. So we have one friend pretending that the trunk release won't work when he realizes that it actually isn't working. The funniest moment had to be when our friend in the trunk realized that he trunk release won't work because he had previously locked it. His reaction was something along the lines of "Oh my god, I'm going to be in here forever." We had our fun messing with him for a little bit and he was slightly embarrassed but recovered quickly and even shared in the laughter a little bit.
