"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 possible and want to bring these attributes to your program here at Western University of Health Sciences."
