"I would have to say that the person who has most greatly inspired me has been my older brother. He was the one who introduced me to coding in the first place, and we've worked together over the years on various work-related endeavors and personal projects in our free time."

"It's hard to choose just one person, as I draw inspiration from many individuals in my life and from history and popular culture. If I had to choose one, I would say Bill Gates. I've closely followed his career and am incredibly inspired by his philanthropic work, having given away billions of his fortune to education, climate action, COVID-19, and global health initiatives. He's taught me the importance of taking risks, both professionally and personally."

Your inspiration can come from a book, a mentor, family member, celebrity, author, or someone from a previous job. There are no wrong answers here, but you should aim to avoid cliches or pointing to an individual whom you don't, in reality, draw inspiration from.
