What or who has been one of your biggest inspirations in life?

Prepare an answer to this question before the interview. You don't want to struggle to think of an idea or give an answer that doesn't seem convincing. Whether your biggest inspiration in life is a movie, a line from a book, a family member, or an experience you had as a child, be prepared to discuss it in a meaningful yet concise way.

"My biggest inspiration in life is my friend Chloe. She lost her eyesight after being involved in an accident when we were freshmen in high school. She had the most positive attitude about adapting her life to what was obviously an extremely difficult situation to get used to. Today, she's a teacher at a school for the blind. I'm not only proud of her, but she's inspired me to push through the obstacles I've encountered, realizing that having a positive attitude is my decision and that it's always possible to adapt to the unexpected."
