| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | The most memorable experience of my childhood is a memory I also often bring to mind when faced with current, everyday living. Running through the straight halls of my childhood home, the cool wooden floor beneath my feet and the summer-near-autumn sunlight reflecting off the floor, straight into my parents' bedroom, meeting their smiling faces. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | My mother. Her attitude, personality, and sheer willpower are everyday reminders I carry her with me in my personality. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | Self-awareness, prudence, bravery, contemplative, and selfless. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | While I cannot remember what was said or done exactly, I have fond memories of spending many warm, summer afternoons bouncing on the trampoline with my neighborhood friends and laughing uncontrollably. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would travel with my partner to the Romanian countryside to purchase a moderately sized villa, tucked away into the forest and mountainside. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would teach them that no fine work can be done without concentration, self-sacrifice, doubt, and toil. And to always be mindful of their capabilities and be self-aware at all times, because that knowledge will save them from vanity. |
