Counseling Module Post 2

One thing that is rewarding for a counselor is seeing the student graduate from high school. Also seeing a student getting accepted into a four year college, two year college or tech school to further their education and building their future. Another rewarding experience for the counselor would be when a student has had problems ranging from personnel to academic to over come them to graduate. Having a student tell a counselor thank you for their help would mean allot to them. A challenge that counselor face and one that i have seen in person is when they have to tell a student that they are not going to get into the college of their choice. Telling a student that the are not going to graduate this year or they have to come back the next year to finish high school. Dealing with parents that think their child does know wrong and that they are better than what the are. Also counselors now are having to deal with students that are homeless and dealing with parents and students that has a drug problems. Again i would say having to ability to make or break a students life after the leave high school is pressure that is strong challenge.
