B. A 300-word version

Moving to Georgetown, Ontario from Johannesburg, South Africa Claire Faver is a young woman in search of a better life. "South Africa is not what it used to be", she says. There is not a lot of a future for young people there according to Faver. She has said ," the quality of life and prospects is [sic] much better in Canada." Faver moved to Georgetown after her dad got a job at the Meggar Steel and Heating Company in town.

Faver has a flair for writing and holds a strong interest in global issues. Poverty, child abuse and racism all interest her although she finds politics boring. These issues interest her because they are relevant in today's society and pretty much the reality. She is not interested in politics because as she puts it, " It is not really relevant in my life, and I don't really understand them."

When it comes to music Faver enjoys listening to rock bands such as Def Leopard, the Goo Goo Dolls, Aerosmith and 3 Doors Down but can also appreciate the oldies such as Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. In her spare time Faver likes to hang out with friends, go to parties and exercise at the gym with friends.

Not really sure what she wants to do upon graduation, Faver one day in the distant future would like to own her own magazine. The magazine would focus on the global issues of poverty, child abuse and racism, which affect many people around the world.
