<p>What is the most significant challenge that society faces today?

<p>What were your favorite events (e.g., performances, exhibits, sporting events, etc.) this past year?
My two favorite events this past year were the Rogers Cup tennis tournament in Toronto and seeing Rush in concert. These were the first tennis tournament and concert I've ever gone to, and both events were even more amazing than I expected.</p>
<p>What historical moment or event do you wish you could have witnessed?
I wish I could have been in the stands at the Cubs' last World Series title back in 1908. I'm a die-hard Cubs fan, and given their 102-year title drought, seeing a world champion Cubs team would be simply amazing.</p>

relaxed, confident, realistic, ambitious, thoughtful</p>
<p>In general on these, I'm trying to reply with honest and at least somehwat interesting/creative responses, but also I guess I'm trying a little bit to go for what they might want to hear (probably a bad idea)</p>
