Your life's inspiration can come from a book, a mentor, your family, a celebrity, an author - anyone! However, the interviewers specifically asked about what person has inspired you and why. Talk to the interviewers about the person who mentored or inspired your life and the effect they had on you.

"I find inspiration in a variety of people and things. I would have to say that the person who has most greatly inspired me is 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 like her as much as I can."

Since you do not know the interview panel, avoid mentioning a political or religious figure as your mentor or inspiration. If you talk about someone an interviewer does not care for or believe in, you risk offending that person.
