Success can look like different things to different people. For this question, the interviewer is not expecting you to want to be the most accomplished physical therapist in the world. They want to understand what motivates you, what are your lifelong goals, and how attending their physical therapy school will get you there.

"Success is knowing that I have made a difference in as many lives that I can. I think that life is so short, and the best way to honor the life and enrich your life is to help others. I see health and physical therapy as a way to accomplish that because it is a topic I am passionate about. But, I do not think my success is limited to my career as a physical therapist. I would see myself as achieving success if I had a loving family or being an active member of my faith community."
