My Mom who came to this country in 1968 with $300 and built as a family. She bought her own home in 1981 and paid it off in 1996 and did everything for her family.
My friend Jennifer is a huge inspiration. She paid her way through catholic high-school by working at the school and working at bath and body works. She applied for tons of grants and scholarships for college. She graduated and then did even more online classes. She's is an extremely high position for LinkedIn now, has a beautiful house, 3 kids, great husband and continues to work hard.
My grandmother inspired me.Her husband passed away ,so she had to raised three of her children by herself.
My grandmother is my biggest inspiration. She was always there for me, strong in her faith, and always had a sense of humor.
My nutrionist and therapist. These strong women have been through hell, and instead of letting it define them, the instead found a way to use their expereince to help others!
Currently my bestie in Maryland Susan inspires me. She's in her 60's and just recently became a senior activity programming professional. She works for a program in the county called seniors in action. Even during the pandemic she also works on programs on zoom and still finds time to work for the county at locations when they need somebody.
I'd have to say my mother. She's fighting Stage 4 colon cancer. I always swore if I got cancer, I wouldn't fight it because I'm so afraid of chemo. But, she did it/is doing it and she's handling it with such grace that I know I would have to make the same choice, given the example she's made for me.
I would definitely say my mom inspires me. I have a chronic illness and not only does she take care of me, but she advocates for me, and is both a mom and a friend to me throughout everything.
My mom inspires me everyday because she is a 20 breast cancer survivor who never gave up!!
I am truly inspired by my aunt that was one of the strongest women I have ever known. She battled cancer and I miss her everyday.
Michelle Obama inspires to me have integrity and character.
My mom and my friends!
Olympic athletes have inspired me a lot. Some of the most inpirational (recently) are Allyson Felix, Katie Ledecky, and Aly Raisman.
Brave women inspire me, whether it's leaving a bad situation or standing up for what's right.
My mom was an inspiration to me. She was the hardest working woman I've ever seen plus she was talented. She could sing, play guitar, play piano, sew, quilt & anything else she set her mind to. I didn't get any of that talent.
