HCB: What is you’re career ambition?
HSK: Non-fiction writer or stay-at-home dad, depending on whether my wife wants to work or not.
HCB: What makes you the best candidate for Mr. Brandeis Freshman?
HSK: I think I am the best Mr. Freshman because I am always relaxed and I always try to do my best to keep my peers relaxed, which is important in a stress-filled college environment.
HCB: Manners are always important, which gesture do you think is most essential for a man to make?
HSK: The most important gesture a man can make is to shower his lady with compliments. A man needs to notice the little things (hair, earrings, bracelets, etc…)and make sure he tells her that he notices them and that he thinks they look beautiful.
HCB: Finish the statement: What I love most about Brandeis is…?
HSK: What I love most about Brandeis is that people are judged based on their character rather than based on more superficial aspects of their lives (wealth, looks, etc…)
HCB: What one thing have you always wanted to do?
HSK: I have always wanted to hail a cab and ask the driver to take me to his favorite place and then sit back and see where I go.
HCB: What is your biggest fear?
HSK: My greatest fear is being lit on fire.
HCB: Your first kiss, good bad or ugly?
HSK: My first kiss was good. It happened during a game similar to spin-the-bottle. The kiss was not the product of love, but it was with a very pretty girl, which meant a lot more to me when I was 13 than it does now.
