Choose a person who influenced you somehow in your professional life. This person doesn't have to be someone who's in your professional life. For example, your mother or father may have influenced your decision to become a teacher. Or perhaps a professor inspired you to commit to a life of teaching. Avoid cliches and generic answers by being as specific as possible. Explain their role, their impact on you, and how you want to continue to pay it forward.

"My first-grade teacher really convinced me to be a teacher. I just graduated from college and didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I went back to my hometown to visit family. I also visited my first-grade teacher, Mrs. Bowers. I talked with Mrs. Bowers, and she really inspired me to become a teacher. I realized that I remembered her even after all these years because of the genuine care she showed me. Mrs. Bowers would attend my soccer games and check in with my family often. She is a wonderful woman, and to this day I admire her. I want to have that kind of impact on students as well."
