      "Optometry school is very expensive, and I am planning to take out a loan to pay for schooling. I am very responsible when it comes to my finances, for example, I just graduated in June, and I have already paid off my undergraduate tuition fees. I am mindful of my spending, I have worked throughout my undergraduate degree and was very firm on my saving to achieve my goal of paying back my debt before it accumulates interest. I am hoping to continue this budgeting mindset while also looking into financial aid and scholarships to help. I am still researching my options and making arrangements to afford attendance at Salus University, but my finances are in good order."
