Is there a childhood experience that still inspires you?

Hey 

If I were answering this question in a Personal Fit interview, I’d pick childhood experiences that show qualities I still value today, like resilience, curiosity, or teamwork.

For example, when I was around 10, I participated in a school science fair. I was fascinated by how things worked, so I built a simple volcano model. It didn’t go perfectly—the eruption was messy and unexpected—but I learned to adapt on the spot and keep a positive attitude. That experience taught me the importance of preparation and flexibility, which still helps me handle surprises in fast-paced work environments.

Another example is from when I was part of a youth football team. We didn’t always win, but I remember how we supported each other and worked together toward common goals. That sense of teamwork and persistence really stuck with me and influences how I collaborate with colleagues and push through challenges today.

In both stories, I’d highlight how these early moments shaped my approach to challenges and working with others—qualities that are essential in any professional setup.
