Hi Everyone,
Here is an interview I conducted with Bergen College (New Jersey) student, WMF scholar, and all-around superstar Katerina Dimitrova.
Katarina
Katerina, please introduce yourself. Where are you from and what do you study?
My name is Katerina Dimitrova, I was born in 1984 in Macedonia. Pursuing my dream to become successful business woman I came in United States in June 2007 to study International Business. I have been a student in Bergen Community College for four semesters, majoring in International Trade. Besides spending time studying, I have participated in a variety of extracurricular activities. I was an active member of Student Activities Board, College Council and vice president of International Student Association.

What are you really passionate about and what are your volunteering activities?
Currently I’m president of Alpha Epsilon Phi, Bergen Community College’s Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa. Phi Theta Kappa is an International Honor’s Society of the two year colleges. Phi Theta Kappa’s mission is to recognize and encourage the academic achievement of two-year college students and to provide opportunities for individual growth and development through participation in honors, leadership, service and fellowship programming. Together with my fellow students I’ve participated in different kinds of volunteering activities, such as fundraisings for Relay for Life – American Cancer Society, Gilda’s Club events, Walks, beautification projects, serving lunch in Homeless Shelters or for senior citizens, etc.
What is the most challenging or exciting thing about being a student?
As part of these organizations, I have learned that by being fair, honest, and willing to help others when needed, you upgrade yourself personally and spiritually. This taught me to be stronger, fearless and full with enthusiasm to learn, to know and to succeed!
Is there anything else that you’d like to share?
My dear fellow WMF Scholars, remember this The good life is inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Education is the most important part in human’s life. Wells Mountain Foundation gave me hope and inspiration to continue my path towards success.
Thank you for helping me pursue my dream!
