"My family is incredibly proud of me for attending dental school. My father is especially keen as he has been a dentist in practice for almost 25 years and speaks very highly of your institution. Both of my parents, as well as my older brother, live in the area. I will have a robust and encouraging support system should I be accepted into Western University School of Dental Medicine."

Discuss your support system and how your family and friends express their excitement for your career. Make sure to mention that you've had the conversation about the support you'll need and that your family is supportive. If anyone close to you has been through dental school, talk about how you saw this support system firsthand.
