Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?My relationship with my dad growing up encompasses this question. Going to fall Saturday football games every weekend, spring break ski trips, and summer days on the lake are just a few of the fond memories I have of the great relationship I have experienced and still experience with my dad.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?I most closely identify with my dad. He's done his best job to groom me into enjoying what he enjoys (football, skiing, watersports) and I guess it worked! We talk each week now that I live a few states away, and our relationship remains strong.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?Loyalty and sincerity are hard to find but invaluable.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?I won a match point during a tennis State Finals match by accidentally hitting the opponent's doubles partner in the face with a serve. I doubt he shares the same feelings about it. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good!
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?I would ski in every country in the world with a ski hill. It's an activity I'm passionate about and can perform no matter where I am. The culture surrounding different countries' ski resorts is fascinating.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I hope that I am able to pass on intelligence and a hardworking mindset.
