• My name is Matau'a T. A'asa-Matai. I am currently working as a secondary guidance counselor for the 10th grade students at Leone High School. I have been a counselor for 11 eleven years now. 
• Upon taking up the post as a counselor, I was totally lost because I had not been trained to become one. Through the years, I have attended various worshops, locally, that somehow relates to the field of counseling. When this opportunity came by, I wanted to be part of it so that I would become a more efficient facilitator for the population that I am currently serving and also those young one coming along the way. That is the main purpose why I long to be in this cohort program.
