"My family is incredibly proud of me for attending optometry school. My father is especially keen as he also graduated from this university. Both of my parents, as well as my older brother, live in the area so I will have a very strong and encouraging support system should I be accepted into your school."

My family is incredibly supportive and they have been with all the study endeavors I’ve undertaken. They are overwhelmingly proud of me and my achievements. I also have a very supportive partner who is excited to see me pursue optometry and is more than ready to step up and help when I need it.
