Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?I remember once in little league, I was down to my last strike in the last inning. I swung as hard as I could and smashed a home run. As the team and parents celebrated, I remember it being the first time I ever felt like a leader.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?I have always been close with my sister. She is older than me and I always looked up to her for things like style, music, or how to handle social situations.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?I admire sincerity over anything. I want a person to be honest and comfortable in their own skin.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?One summer growing up, the manager of our swim club who does PA announcements left for the day. I took it upon myself to do an impression of him over the loudspeaker for the whole swim club to hear. Of course, he realized he forgot something and came back to hear a poor impression of his voice going over the loudspeaker. He chased me around for probably ten minutes with everyone watching. I was suspended from the pool for a week.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?I would go anywhere and everywhere that I would feel safe. I think every place has a lot to offer and I wouldn't truly know where I like the most until I've been there.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I would like to pass on to them integrity, self-worth, and ambition.
