| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My childhood was filled with many memorable and joyful experiences. The most memorable of those were times spent with cousins and close family members. Regardless of the number of friends you have the love and affection shown by your family is truly different and on a different level. I believe these experiences helped make me a more compassionate and caring person. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | My brother is one family member that I am closest with. Although there is a significant age gap between us, we are best friends and I talk to him on a regular basis. We both are very similar at the same time very different. I respect him for his values and ideals and he has helped me become a better person. I have also been a good role model to him and have been able to guide him from my experiences. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | There are many traits that I would like to see everyone have. I am always drawn to someone who is similar to me. I feel that compassion, care, kindness, honesty, and reliability are some of the major characteristics I look for in others. Also some traits like a great personality open minded, outgoing, and content. I do not like people who are pretentious and think they are better than others; you have to be modest yet be confident enough to be happy with yourself. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | I can't think of any single instance where something funny has happened. I am a pretty humorous person and love making people laugh. I feel that laughter and happiness are key to any relationship or situation and makes people come together. I don't take things too seriously and try to make people smile whenever I can. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | If time and money were not an issue I would love to travel the world. Some of the places that are on the top of my list are Italy, Greece, China, Japan, and Mt. Everest. I have always wanted to climb Mt. Everest. It is a dangerous endeavor, but I am willing to part with "a few toes" in order to make the journey. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I want to pass on the same values with which I live by, teach them from my experiences and instill great values and morals. I know exactly what I liked and disliked growing up and I hope to be my children's best friend and always want to be open and honest with them and expect the same in return. |
