Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?My most memorable childhood memory was when I crashed my bike going off a jump. I was twelve years old and there were bike jumps behind my school. I was actually pretty good at it, or so I thought when I tried to do a trick. The resulting injury caused me 50 to 70 stitches and a night in the hospital. That injury helped shape the person I am. I realized you can't be serious about life because you never know when it might change.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?I would most identify with my mother. We both share many traits such as our honesty and kindness. We're both very laid back and not nosy at all. We also have some of the same bad habits, such as when a job requires a meticulous touch and we don't have the patience for that. My father is meticulous, and I've been trying to be more meticulous but it's still a work in progress for me.
