Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?I’ll always remember having sleepovers with all my friends in elementary school, playing video games, and laughing until our bellies hurt.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?I identify most with my youngest sister because she reminds me so much of myself. She's very intelligent and extremely cerebral. She only ever really talks when she has something funny or interesting to contribute, and she has a lot of the same interests as me.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?I admire honesty, accountability, and integrity. I can admire all kinds of people, people with different faiths, ideas, beliefs, and values, but none of that matters to me unless they can be trusted and are responsible.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?I recently went out with a bunch of friends, and I adamantly proclaimed it would not rain, so nobody had to bring any rain jackets. Lo and behold, on our way walking back home, it absolutely poured on us. That was pretty funny.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?I’d go everywhere. I'd want to see what every corner of our world looks like. I'd want to see every culture, every city, every country.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I want them to learn that they should think for themselves and come to their own conclusions about things, never taking anything at face value and always asking questions. I'd also want them to always be honest and take responsibility when they make mistakes.
