Haviva G.
Interests and Values
• Some of my interests include cooking, sports, art, traveling, meeting new people, and learning new things
• I have many important values. Some are: Giving back to the community; keeping your family and friends close; and education is extremely important
Goals
• I want to go to Columbia University and double major in business and economics
• I eventually want to live in Chicago and own a small business
• I want to become a popular entrepreneur so that people will come to my business
• I want to be married and have kids
Savings Plan / Paying for College
• If you work for Johns Hopkins University, one benefit you get is a tuition grant for your dependants. At Hopkins that grant pays for 50% of college tuition at any accredited college for 4 years. If both parents work at Hopkins they each get this grant for a total of 100% of college tuition for 4 years for each of their dependants including step-children.
• I am lucky enough to have both my mother and my stepfather work for Johns Hopkins University
• My parents put away money so that I can pay for things like room and board, textbooks, and travel, which are not included in the grant
College Life / Degrees
• I expect to get a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Columbia University
• After graduating from college I will go for my Masters of Business Administration also at Columbia University
• While studying at Columbia University I plan to take classes in Culinary Arts and have a part-time job for the experience and for extra money
College Life Style
• I plan to live in a dormitory on campus with one or two room mates
• I want to join many different clubs or extra curricular activities like sports, art, or book clubs in order to get to know other students at Columbia
• I would love to travel abroad for a semester, perhaps in my junior year, in order to see the world and be exposed to many cultures
