Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?My sister and I were given tape recorders for Christmas one year. We carried those tape recorders wherever we went. I remember us giggling non-stop for hours, while creating silly songs to play back for each other.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?Probably my sister. We are close in age. We have always been very close and have a very similar outlook on life.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?I admire people who are empathetic. If people were more empathetic, the world would be a better place.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?Probably the first time I went camping. I was newly dating my fiancée and we went on a camping trip. I had never gone camping before at the time and we were out in the middle of the woods. I was a little scared of animals attacking us at night, but my fiancée reassured me that we would be fine. When I went to sleep, I had a dream that wolves were outside of our tent about to attack. In my mind, I thought that growling back at wolves would scare them off, so I began to growl at them in my dream. In reality, my fiancée woke up to me growling in the tent and was a little freaked out at the fact that her new boyfriend might be a little crazy. It's a little embarrassing when she brings that story up at dinner parties...
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?I would spend a year traveling around Europe. I have been to Italy, Ireland and France already and I would love to spend more time in all of Europe. I would take my time and get lost throughout the continent.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I would want to pass on my empathy as well as my love for film and music.
