Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?I can't pick one, but any family vacation. Every summer my family would take at least a week vacation. Some of my favorite vacations were camping in Banff, camping in the Black Hills, and Disney World.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?I identify most with my younger brother. We are very similar and have many of the same interests (sports, movies, video games). We even both married Spanish teachers.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?I admire kindness, empathy, compassion, and honesty.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?During my senior lock in there was a burping contest. I volunteered for our team because I can burp on command. When it was my turn, I went up to the microphone and let out a huge belch that clearly was louder than any of the other teams attempts. Some people were grossed out, some cheered, and a lot of people laughed.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?I want to travel to Western Europe. I love the culture and the history. I'm also a huge fan of European soccer so I would like to go to some games specifically in Germany, England, and Italy.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I would hope that they share my ability to make and keep friends. I still have three best friends from growing up that I talk to on a weekly basis, whether that's through texting, phone calls, or video game chat.
