Essay Questions

What is your most memorable childhood experience?Traveling all over the U.S with my youth baseball teams. We competed in all of the major tournaments across the country. The best we ever did was 2nd in the National Tournament. The time I spent with my team mates and family was a bonding experience that I haven't had with many other people in my life. A lot of my team mates from those youth teams are still my best friends now.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?I most closely identify with my brother. We are very close in age. We played all of the same sports, video games, and did everything together. We were able to play varsity level sports together during high school. Our baseball team made it to the state championship game but lost. That was probably our biggest accomplishment together. He is a brother and a best friend to me.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?I admire and respect a person as much as I feel they have earned it. Honesty is the biggest trait I look for in friends and the girls I date. After that the traits I look for the most are humor, attractiveness, and fitness.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?As kids my brother and I were fighting one day for some reason I can't even remember. During the fight he grabbed a cat toy ball with a bell inside of it and threw it straight up out of frustration. The ball hit the ceiling and as he was giving me a death stare came back down and smacked him on top of the head and split in half. I have never laughed that hard in my life. We have never really fought since that day.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?I would live out of a backpack and travel across Europe. There is so much rich history there. The visual sites you experience are incredible because of the landscapes they have and the way that the people live there. It is so different from how the U.S. is set up and I would love to experience it.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I would like my children to be athletic, smart, and funny. Obviously I want them to look like me. The main thing I would want is for a friend or relative to know the child is my kid because of how he/she acts.
