Item #1 Personal Impessions Roles and Responsibilities of Guidance Counselors

My personal impressions , are as such during this lesson .I had the opportunity to sit down with our Junior /Senior school counselor at Laney High School , while conducting my interview with Ms. Rolland . I received first hand the and eye -opening experience of her day in just , one hour from constant incoming phone calls to teachers early arrival that just want to get a glimpse of her for a few seconds, to parents of graduating seniors waiting patiently to see her , all that I might add did not schedule an appointment with her , well these thing all are much more important that my interview for NTI , student ,parents and business call all that precedence over my interview. I notice how she was able to multi-task with each challenge that she encounted , and through it all I received a quality interview , never mind the fact that all the events of the day began at 6:30am , just one hour before the start of the school day , My personal impression of a school counselors as such , they consul and nurture the mind ,body and soul of every student that passes through there door, they encourage teachers with host of resources that me assist with students academics and they motivate and encourage student achievement. I was very much overwhelmed with their job description

You are so right about the counselor having to do so much. At the the same time they know evey students name and info like it is nothing. They have to work threw lunch most of the times because parents come to the schools during their lunch break to check on their child. Being able to the job of a counselor really takes a person with strong mind and the will to help others. The counselor is truley and extended parent.

Selina, It was nice to meet you in Alpharetta. Your post sounds like you could have been standing in the Hawkinsville High School counselor's Office. It's true,they have plenty to do. I totally agree with your last two sentences.
