| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | Spending time with my family. Once my family split the cost of a beach house with my aunts and uncles. While we were there, we got a lot of beach time and played card games when we weren't outside in the sand. It was the best! |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I am similar to all my siblings in some way, but I most resemble my older brother. We look similar and have many of the same hobbies. For example, he was great at drums, so I took to percussion. I ended up graduating from college with a degree in music. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire passion, kindness, and dedication. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | In high school, I used to wear this t-shirt that said "Who's Hot?" that I bought from a restaurant. People would see the shirt and ask "Who's Hot?" so I would jokingly respond "You are!" One time, one of my best friend's moms asked "Who's Hot?" and without thinking I responded "You are!" right to her face. To make the situation worse, my best friend was right next to me when I said it. It was embarrassing, of course, but it is still something we look back at and laugh about all the time. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would go all over Europe. I would start with France, Italy, and Germany. I admire their culture, their love for the arts, the people, and (last but not least) the food. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | My appreciation for music and the arts. I worked very hard in school so that I could have scholarships to study what I wanted to. Currently, I am reaping the rewards by teaching music to make a living. If he/she wants to pursue a passion, I hope that I could pass on that sense of dedication so that he/she can study whatever he/she wants to. |
