By gaining an understanding of someone who served as an inspiration to you, whether it be a personal hero or mentor, your interviewer will have a clearer understanding of how to motivate or coach you and even who to pair you up with as you're onboarding with the company. They even attest to this on their website: "Early in your career, at the most critical stages of your professional experience, you'll have access to coaching, mentoring, and opportunities to expand your skill set. The process begins with in-depth learning. Before you join your team, you'll experience our culture, interact with accomplished associates, gain insights into our approach, and engage in real project work." One's inspiration can come from a book, a mentor, someone in your family, a celebrity, or an author. Talk to the interviewer about who has inspired your life and why.

"I find inspiration in a variety of people and things. I would have to say that the person who has most greatly inspired me has been my grandmother. She always had a smile on her face no matter how hard she worked, and she loved everyone. She was well respected and always gave more than she received. I try to live like her as much as I can."

One of my biggest inspirations was my grandmother. She always saw the good in everyone she met, and she didn't allow others to cloud her judgment about someone she had never met. She had a heart of gold and would go out of her way for people. She lived her life with great compassion for others.

Your grandmother sounds like a beautiful person and a lovely example of how we should all be :) This answer is very genuine, which any interviewer should appreciate.
