LAMA: IB STUDENT
“I discovered more about myself after taking the personality test; I learned how to use some of my Strong characteristics to my advantage in the future. I was always unsure about the many ideas I had in store for myself but now I feel more comfortable with my decision.”
Lama Abo Aiad (IB Student – Cairo American College)
“I found the service to be very valuable because kids at that age are totally lost and feel very confused about what they are going to study. The most reputable of schools don’t offer the required support and even when they do, it’s usually too little too late. What SpringBoard did was offer indispensable advice to my daughter from very early on. She chose her subjects based on the recommendations of the process, which even though were unexpected and surprising but told her a lot about herself and challenged false misconceptions about her personality. I did recommend this service to many others.”
Lina Taha (Lama’s mom)

MALAK: IB STUDENT
“The field of study I initially had in mind was what people around me told me I was good at but I wasn’t personally sure what major or career suited me in the future. I like so many things and wasn’t sure which one should be my career; it’s a major step in my life. When I took the tests during the session, they underscored all the fields I’m special at. The outcome more or less matched what I had in mind but still focused on some areas of strengths which I wasn’t aware existed. The picture became clearer and I discovered new things about myself. I would repeat the process all over again if given the choice.
Malak Mokhtar (IB Student – Green Land International School)
“It’s a very convincing service which highlights the prominent strengths and weaknesses of the student’s personality, widens their scopes of vision and helps them rediscover themselves in order to be able to better plan for the future. I highly recommend this much-needed service to parents of puzzled teenagers who have various interests but did not yet locate their passion. Passions can be further developed and utilized at any stage in life. I was not aware that my daughter was gifted in public speech, not only in arts. If the outcome was totally unexpected, I still know it’s based on theories and the recommendations of an unbiased and specialized professional. I would never interfere with my daughter’s choice because sooner or later she will give up any study which was forced upon her. I wish this service to spread more in schools and universities.”

YASMINE: SABIS STUDENT
“I found the career coaching service very beneficial because I didn’t know which college to apply for or what to major in. Through all the questions and our extensive one-on-one talks during the sessions, I started to get a grasp of what I really wanted; all the talk was leading to a single direction. The activities made me understand who I really am and what my passion is. Way even before the results came out, I already had a fair idea of what I wanted. There were some aspects of my personality that didn’t make a lot of sense before, but combining them together gave me a clearer image. I discovered that I couldn’t be tied down to a desk job; I would only be fulfilled if I did something that had an artistic side.”
Yasmine El Bialy (SABIS Student – The International School of Choueifat)
“I was a bit hesitant to try the service at first but it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to my daughter. The outcome of the process was totally aligned with my daughter’s personality. Knowing that the results were based on tried and tested scientific theories made me feel more confident about the whole idea. Kids at that age are not experienced enough to make such life decisions and it’s great that a process like this is available to guide them.”
Noha El Ridy (Yasmine’s mom)
