"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, 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."

Generally, when answering this question, it is best not to use a political or religious figure in your response as the interviewers may have different beliefs. However, since Loma Linda University is a faith-based university, you can use God in your response if you wish.

"My greatest inspiration is my brother. He was born with Down syndrome and has the kindest and sweetest soul of anyone I know. Whenever I am struggling with something or having a bad day, he knows exactly how to cheer me up. Often, people will comment about it being sad that my brother has Downs, but he never feels sorry for himself. I wouldn't change one thing about my brother."
