Asked at Massachusetts Street on October 14, 2012
“ My sister. She dedicates her life to helping others. She works for a not-for-profit fighting slavery and human trafficking.”
“ My student, who recently told me her mother is dying but she hasn’t quit school and stopped coming. She deals with it, and she rose to the challenge.”
“ I work with a woman who is inspiring. She is an animal rights activist. The longer I work with her, the more I want to be like her.”
“ I have a colleague who is a professor. She has achieved a lot at a young age and hasn’t had to sacrifice anything.”

My parents were inspiring with their encouragement to always do my best. They had more faith in me than I had myself. They're both gone now, but I think of them everyday.

No one in particular. Everyone has something to offer. Even if it's only to serve as a bad example.

The odious behavior of the benighted true believers who still assign greatness to the current resident of 1600 Penn. Ave. inspire me not to be so gullible.

My Dad. He was an island hopping Marine in WWII. One of his closest friends was E. B. Sledge. They served together from islands way out in the Pacific to Peiping, China. "We didn't really do anything in the war." Riiight.
