Who in your life has been the biggest mentor or inspiration to you?

Your life's inspiration can come from a book, a mentor, family, or a celebrity. Talk to the interviewers about who has inspired your life and why. If possible, explain how this person has inspired your choice to pursue a career as a physician.

"The biggest inspiration in my pursuit of a career in medicine was my junior high science teacher. I remember how fascinated I was when I first learned cell biology and basic chemistry. My teacher believed in me and encouraged my interest in life science and medicine."
