Who is someone that inspires you and how?
This is hard to answer. I get inspiration from many places and things. Both good and bad reasons! Some people inspire me by showing what not to do. While other people are truly people to model goals after. BUTTT, if I must pick someone I'd say one of my best friends. She is a wife, mother of three, and director of four choirs. She is a driven, positive force in the world and I truly strive to walk in her footsteps. I consider her a slightly older sister.
