When students enter the college world, many times they’re not sure what to do. The question of what major to pursue can be daunting, but Mariam Ibrahim’s story shows that it doesn’t have to be. A current graduate student in MSU’s Business Analytics / MBA Dual Degree Program, Mariam started in Nigeria studying History and Strategic Studies of Diplomacy – a path her school picked for her, but one she enjoyed nonetheless. From there, she outlines the challenges and culture shocks of being an international student studying in England before arriving in America, and how these experiences of meeting new people from different cultures shaped her. Interviewed by Albert P. Antomattei, Mariam’s story shows that no matter where our lives take us, students can always find where they’re meant to be.
