Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?My most memorable childhood experience was when my dad and I were going to a basketball game. As we entered and went onto the escalator, we happened to be behind a team executive who offered us tickets to sit closer to the court. He showed us to our new seats and left. It was not a significant memory, but one that showed a random act of kindness for me and my dad.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?I most closely identify with my dad because we have many shared interests: watching sports, playing sports, playing card games, going to auctions, collecting antiques/memorabilia, and fishing. Also we share a lot of the same mannerisms as well.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?I admire loyalty and honesty because I believe that these traits are what makes someone trustworthy and trust is very important to me in my life.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?On one of my elementary school field trips I went ice skating for the first time. When we got there, I put on my ice skates and hobbled over to the entrance. Right as my skates hit the ice, I fell straight onto my butt. It hurt, but all I could do was laugh about it with my friends. The rest of the field trip I had a death grip on the wall so I wouldn't hurt my already bruised butt.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?I would like to travel to Norway, Sweden, and Finland to see the sites, but also the scenery of the countryside. One thing I would like to do is relax on a boat and just fish. I also would like to try many of their foods while I am there.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I would like to pass on my hobbies and interests because they are always more enjoyable when you can do them with someone close to you. Also I would like to pass on my genetics because I believe I am a healthy person.
