Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?Going to Disney World with my family when I was six years old was my most memorable childhood experience. I always needed to use my own imagination while playing with neighborhood friends, which developed my sense of creativity, so it was a real treat to have a wild adventurous Disney story come to life, with all the rides and attractions.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?I am closest to my mother. She has always been dear to me, yet would also push me if/when needed. I couldn't imagine a better mother, and I make sure she knows that. I place her above all else, and I treat my girlfriend the same way.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?Perseverance, patience, emotional maturity, which I try to replicate in my own behavior.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?The funniest thing ever to happen to me would be wearing my shoes on the wrong feet to kindergarten. I didn't realize until a few hours had past, and wondered why my feet hurt so much. Luckily, no one noticed and I saved myself from the embarrassment, though at that age, we're not too self-conscious and we're more concerned with just having fun.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?The Maldives, to see the beautiful blue ocean glow in the dark at night, caused by plankton.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I would like to pass on enough assets for them to not struggle beyond their best efforts. I'd like to pass on advice to make the best decisions in life, as it relates to health, career, and relationships. Above all else, I'd like to provide them with nostalgic memories of a parent who cared for them every step of the way, as my parents have.
