How does your family feel about you becoming a PA? Do you have a strong support system?

"My family is incredibly proud of me for taking this journey to become a Physician Assistant. My mother is a Registered Nurse at a large ICU and helped inspire me on this journey. One reason Western University appeals to me is that it will allow me to remain close to my family and support system. My fiance is also very supportive of the time and effort I will put forward in the coming two years."

Discuss your family - anyone who lives near you - and explain how your family expresses their excitement for your career. You can also mention anyone in your family who may have had a similar path in the medical industry. No matter what your support system looks like, be sure to highlight how you feel like you have a great team backing you on your journey toward becoming a Physician Assistant.
