I am Ayan and this is my story. I graduated from one of the best high schools in Somaliland and even with my exemplary national exam performance, I realized I needed college counseling if I was to pursue my best-fit major at the university and in a college that aligns well with my interests. My college counselor, Margaret, engaged me in numerous career counseling sessions before I got connected with my fit university and secured two scholarships: one from the foundation that supported my high school education and from the university. I am pursuing a bachelor’s degree with honors in Computer Science at Taylor’s University, Malaysia, ranked the top private university in Malaysia and Southeast Asia and among the world’s top flight universities.
