Why Public Health? Why Miva?
For John, public health represents a powerful way to contribute to society by improving lives. The field’s focus on prolonging life, promoting health, and preventing diseases resonates with his desire to make a meaningful impact. He said, “I believe I can help make an impact by teaching others how to stay and live healthy.”
At the point of choosing a university, John knew he needed a flexible option that suited his personality and work demands. After careful research, he discovered that Miva Open University’s online platform perfectly aligned with his needs.
“This is the place I should be. With Miva, it is easy to combine work and study since it provides flexibility,” he said.
Friends, Work-Study Balance, and Interests
Despite being naturally reserved, John has built strong relationships with classmates through study groups and shared learning experiences. His network of friends and study partners has been a vital part of his journey, providing encouragement and support along the way.
John works from home, which allows him some flexibility. However, on busy days, he has to be more intentional about finding time to study. “Nothing good comes easily,” he says, reflecting on the effort it takes to succeed.
When asked what he was passionate about, John revealed that music was his childhood passion, and he enjoys playing the keyboard. “I have always loved music and wanted to learn how to play musical instruments.”
