Explain in real depth and with specificity as to why this inspires you4. it can be nice to round off with a bit of a reflective pointThis is not a hard and fast rule by any stretch but I have seen a few responses to similar questions and I tend to quite like that balance between informing the reader but then having that personal touch of really explaining why it excites you and really showcasing your personality in that way. I think the best thing here is to not overthink it and just put pen to paper because then you can start to see the response taking shape and you can restructure and edit as you see fit. With these types of questions where there isn't more of a prescribed structure it can just be a case of trial and error and figuring out what you think is best. I hope this helps to get you started!</blockquote>
