S.W.O.T Chart
Education
I graduated from Freehold Township High School after I went to Barkalow Middle School. I graduated from High School with a 4.0 GPA and as Valedictorian, which really helped me get into the college of my dreams, Columbia University.
I went to Columbia University and got my Master's Degree in Psychology and Social Services. Going to Columbia was a great choice for me because it was located in New York City, which is around an hour away from my home. It was a great experience for me to live and go to the school in the city, and I loved it! The total cost for studying here was $65,000 per year ( A total of $390,00 for all 6 years).
Careers I Was Thinking About
Journalist - $37,090
I wanted to be a journalist because I wanted to write in magazines and talk about my opinions on things. I wanted to write columns in magazines, or work on Current Events. I later on realized that this job gets a bad rep, and I didn't really want to do it.
Psychologist - $69,280
I wanted to be a psychologist because I enjoy studying behaviors and the way the mind works. It totally fascinates me, and I thought it'd be cool to help others. I went on to pursue this career an really enjoy it.
