NAME: Matthew Adam Chosid
AGE: 21
OCCUPATION: Student
EDUCATION: He graduated Andover High

School in 1988 and the University of
Michigan in 1991 with a major in
political science.

FAMILY: His parents are Richard and

Cherie-Lynne Chosid who reside in
Tamarac, Fla. His sister Robin is an
attorney with the Federal Trade
Commission in Washington, D.C. His
sister Pamela attends Nova University
in Florida. His grandparents, Ruth and
Sidney Siegan, reside in Beverly Hills,
Mich. His grandmother, Edna Chosid,
resides in Southfield.

RESIDENCE: West Bloomfield
SYNAGOGUE: Adat Shalom
ORGANIZATIONS: Phi Beta Kappa
FAVORITE BOOK: His favorite authors are

James Joyce and J.D. Salinger. He
recently finished reading The Firm by
John Grisham.

HOBBIES: He's a musician who writes
his own music. He plays the piano,
guitar and drums.

LATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: "I received a

scholarship from the Ida and Benjamin
Alpert Foundation that supports law
students." It was recently announced at
a luncheon at Tam O'Shanter Country
Club.
PHILOSOPHY: He remembers his father's
speech from his bar mitzvah. "As we go
through life, let us not forget to live."

BACKGROUND: Matt Chosid grew up in
West Bloomfield and attended public
school in Bloomfield Hills. He spent his
summers at Camp Walden.
He and his family enjoy music.
"Everybody in my family is musical,"
said Matt. "It's genetic."
He describes his middle school years
as rebellious. "In the 8th grade, I had a
1.5 grade point." During that year he
became close to a drama teacher, Dr.
Sharon Newman-Bordine, whom he
describes as a mentor. He wrote music,
sang and performed in skits with other
students outside of school. At the end of
the school year, he evaluated his
performance and decided he would excel
in high school.
At Andover High School, he was an
honor student and president of the
senior class. He also excelled in sports
and was a pitcher on the baseball team.
He worked in his teens as a car detailer,
cleaning and waxing automobiles.
At the University of Michigan he
was vice president of the honors
fraternity and involved in student
government. He graduated from the
university in three years. "I had lots of
advanced placement credit in high
school. It seemed the natural thing to
do."
Since his parents now live in
Florida, he spent the summer residing
at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Robert
Wolfe. "They are another set of parents
to me," said Matt.
This fall Matt will enter Harvard
Law School. "It's been a dream;' he
said. After being interviewed for this
lifestyle profile, Matt Chosid
commented: "I must be more interesting
than this?' ❑

Israel Grants
Equal Aid

Jerusalem (JTA) — Israeli Arab mayors
claimed a "historic achievement" last week,
after the government agreed to grant Arab
municipalities the same financial assistance
the Jewish municipalities get.
The aid is to come within the next four
years.
But extracting the concession took a
weeklong sit-in strike outside the prime
minister's Office and a threat by the Commit-
tee of Arab Mayors to complain to the United
Nations and to foreign governments.
The strike ended when the government
agreed that Arab municipalities will receive
an additional $218 million in grants over the
next four years. A third will be raised from
local taxes.
