Yes, I found his resilience and determination in the face of overwhelming discrimination and other obstacles he faced to be very inspiring.

Tenacity and ambition are very admirable traits, both of which the author has. The fact that he was faced with racism and still aimed to be (and eventually become) a doctor is truly inspiring. Opportunities weren't as easy for him to find compared to his peers, but he was still able to accomplish so much.

I felt that the author had an innate sense of confidence and humility. He knew who he was, but he didn't feel the need to shout it from the rooftops. That is truly admirable, and it is something the world needs more of.

Perfectly put, compared to his peers he faced more obstacles and opportunities were few. He still decided to commit himself to a career of service.

The author's inate sense of confidence and wellbeing was truly inspiring. During his entire journey, he never once doubted who he was or what his worth was. He never felt the need to showboat his intellect or shout it from the rooftops - as you've eloquently put it - it was a quite certainty and confidence in his abilities.

That is one of the qualities I find inspiring about him. He never let discrimination drag him down. He was focused and determined to achieve his goals.

I admire that trait also more so because it got him through a really tough situation when he was about to commit suicide.
