Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?My most memorable childhood experience is moving to Korea at the age of 7 with my family. The flight to Korea and staying with my relatives while my parents finalized buying our house is still vivid in my memories. It was both an exciting and difficult time for me, which is most likely why it is my most memorable childhood experience.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?While I closely identify with all my immediate family members (my dad, mom, and brother), I would have to say that I most closely identify with my mother. This is because we talk to each other more often even though we are on different continents. She has been my biggest supporter all my life.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?I admire honesty and integrity the most in an individual. They are character traits that are surprisingly rare in people, and I believe people with these traits try to help other people the most. It would be even better if those individuals have a strong drive and will to help others.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?The funniest thing ever to happen to me is thinking that I locked myself out right before my flight to Korea. I was in such a hurry to clean my place up before leaving for Korea and while taking out the trash I accidentally locked myself out without my phone. After throwing away the trash, I couldn't find my keys and phone and as it was during the holidays I started to panic. It wasn't too long though until I found out that I had my keys still in the keyholes to my door and everything was fine.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?I would travel to Korea and Japan. Korea is where my parents and most of my relatives are and I would like to see and visit them. Japan is right next to Korea, and I've always wanted to visit.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?When and if I ever have children, I would like to pass on to them my hand-eye coordination. I find myself quite dexterous and I have good coordination when I play games and sports. It is an attribute of mine that I find very useful so I would like to pass it on to my children.
