QUESTION: Whom do you find the most inspirational person of all? Describe the person and explain why you find him/her so.
OR: Whom do you find the most inspirational person of all? Describe this person and give specific examples why he or she is so exciting for you.

And the second reason is that, as I understand it, she wrote the series under co-, you know, withconsiderable hardships. She was a single mother, she didn't have a lot of income, and she still forged ahead and, well, achieved her dream - and that really inspires me.
