Question: Who inspires you? Why?
Answer: One person in my life who has played an important role and inspired in one of my Aunt. She always modeled what it meant to be independent, motivated, self sufficient, and adventurous. She encouraged me to seek out knowledge, to travel the world, and never be afraid to step into the unknown. She always encouraged me to be the best I can be, and part of that is making a constant effort to challenge myself and be the best I can be in whatever I choose to do.
Question: What do you most value?
Answer: I have a great value for knowledge and diversity. I love travelling to new place, meeting new people, experiencing different cultures and customs. The more knowledge and exposure you have the more you can truly appreciate the world around us, both what it has to offer us and what we offer it.
