Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?Christmas Day 1994. I spent about twenty of the longest minutes looking for a surprise "behind my head." Little did I know that it didn't mean literally, but behind an ornament picture of me, where I found a key taped to it. When even more confused, my dad picked me up and took me outside. There, sitting in the driveway, was a snowmobile just for me (and my other siblings of course).
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?My older brother was always keeping an eye on me, making sure I didn't get into trouble. He introduced me to a lot of music and when I got older, we would take trips up and down the east coast to attend different music festivals and concerts.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?Honesty. Friendliness. Loyalty.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?Too many to count and none that I can think of off the top of my head.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?Ireland. I grew up heavily influenced by my mother's family's heritage and I'm slightly obsessed with the culture. To the point where, if you ask any of my friends about me, the first thing that will come out of their mouths would be "He's very Irish."
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?Family values. Good reading habits. Strong sports skills. Anything that will help them to succeed in life not only professionally, but personally as well.
