"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 as she did."

I would have to say my daughter because I want to give her the best future and also my mother. 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 also find inspiration from my distant relatives and neighbors in our province in Vietnam, they are very poor, and I want to help them in some way.

My parents have inspired me because they have a very strong work ethic. My mother is in the health profession, and numerous times she has worked when the younger generation calls in with various reasons why they can't make it to work, and my mom is 76. My dad had to retire medically due to eye disease, and he has persevered spending more time on his farm and still works there 5-6 days a week, and he is 80.

My biggest inspiration is my mother. My mom was a Registered Nurse for over 50 years, she love helping people and took care of her patients with compassion. She took pride in being a nurse. She cared about her patients and the treatment that she was giving them.
Marcie's Feedback
Wonderful! Your mother sounds like an amazing person, and you come across as sincere and genuine in your response. Can you talk about a specific instance when you witnessed your mom helping someone else and discuss how it impacted you? Also, consider ending your answer by explaining that you strive to be just like your mother and that you're confident this will help you succeed in the role. Excellent job!
