Perceived Roles

My personal impressions of the roles and responsibilities of a guidance counselor include that of being an office administrator who arranged student schedules. My personal experiences with the counselor has merely been a brief meeting with a list of classes and being told to pick what classes I most wanted to take to then being told why I couldn't take what I wanted. I really did not feel very guided at all throughout high school. The most vivid memories I have of my high school counselor was the fact that she organized most of the school functions and was in charge of the graduation ceremony. These are some of my perceived roles and experiences that I had with my high school guidance counselor.
