Who has inspired you in 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 as she did."

"My current director I work under has been a huge inspiration to me over the last six years. Her passion for serving patients in a lab setting and her career successes were motivating and put the fire in me to climb the ladder in my career."
