"I would have to say that the person who has most greatly inspired me has been my mother. She always has a smile on her face no matter how hard she works, and she shows love and empathy for everyone. She has worked her entire life as an ICU Nurse, and watching her flourish in her career and the great relationships she has built inspired me to become a physician."

Your life's inspiration can come from a book, a mentor, your family, a celebrity, an author - anyone! Talk to the interviewers about who has inspired your life and why. If you can tie their inspiration to your pursuit of an osteopathic medicine degree, you will win your interviewers over.
