Spend time preparing an answer to this question before the interview. You wouldn't want to be put on the spot and fumble your words 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 Ron. He was involved in an accident when we were juniors in high school, and he became paralyzed from the waist down. Everyone I knew was devastated. But Ron kept his head high, worked really hard to adapt to a new lifestyle, and smiled more than anyone else I knew. Today, he's in law school. I'm not only proud of him, but he'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."
