17. What achievement are you most proud of, so far, on your path to becoming an optometrist?
How to Answer
The interviewers would like to know what areas of achievement are most important to you. Perhaps you have maintained an exceptional GPA or maybe you excelled in school while also working a part time job. Maybe you finished top of your class and received a special award for your achievements. Think of any accolades that you may have received along the way.

You should be very proud, indeed! I suggest that you take a moment to discuss your journey a bit further so that the interviewer can make a connection with you. Talk about what you did to get here, today :)

It's great that you earned a degree while also working and caring for your family. To really impress the interviewer, though, you'll need to provide more details. How many hours were you working outside of school and what type of job(s)? In what ways were you caring for your family? Really show the interviewer why this was a challenge for you. Emphasize how you persevered and worked hard. Nice job!
