Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?My most memorable childhood experience is playing backyard football with other kids from the neighborhood after school. We'd play until it got dark and walk home covered in mud. Everyone looked forward to it.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?I'd say my mother. We are very similar in personality and have gradually become more of friends than mother and son. We understand each other and know how we each think.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?I admire when people show loyalty, honesty, compassion, courage and strength.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?In high school, a friend and I performed Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You" at a talent show, and made it to the final round of voting. (We did not win, though.)
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?Everywhere. I'd want to see every corner of the world — good and bad.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I would want to pass on the traits I mentioned in the earlier question, as well as my sense of adventure and open-mindedness.
