Outstanding Family Award
The family of Carly Holbrook has been named the 2023 Family of the Year at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Carly is a senior middle education mathematics major.
As the 2023 Family of the Year, the Holbrook family was given a certificate celebrating the award as well as having their name added to the plaque outside the Office of Student and Family Transitions. The award is given based on what the student most admires about his or her family, and how family members have encouraged the student’s education, and had an impact on the student’s academic and personal life.
Speaking of her family, Nelson said: “My parents have always wanted me to further my education, something neither of them were completely successful at. I am the fifth of sixth children in my family, but only the third to attend a university. My parents had some background on the college system because of this, but every school is different and every child is new. My parents have been great supporters of my journey through college. They always make sure to text me that they are thinking about me and ask me about upcoming assignments and tests they can be praying for me about.
"My parents understand how important my schoolwork is to me, so they never discourage me from working even when it may interfere with family time. My family financially can not afford to aid me much, but they always make sure I have gas money and some cooked meals to take back to campus with me. When I am stressed, confused, or doubting myself my parents are on of the first people I turn to. I am extremely thankful for them.”
