Most rewarding and challenging situations

I believe that being a school guidance counselor is probably full of challenges. It seems like it would be one of those careers where there is never enough time in the day to do all that needs to be done. I imagine that having students come to you and confide in you about unimaginable situations, day in and day out, would have to take its toll. Those would be the type of stories that would keep me up all night worrying or wondering how to best help these students. I also believe that one of the hardest challenges would be knowing that you can't save them all. That is one of the hardest parts of my job as a teacher, so I can only imagine that it is on a much larger scale as a school guidance counselor. I think that one of the greatest rewards would come from seeing the success of those students who had the most challenges. Knowing that the hard work that was put into that student actually paid off. It would be a great feeling to know that you had positively effected that student for the rest of his/her life!
