“Changed Impressions.”

After reading the five sites my impression of the guidance counselor has definitely changed. The counselors responsibilities extended much further than I thought-personal issues. Due to the fact that each student, school system and demographic are different ;therefore, a guidance counselor has to adjust to each situation, adversity, attitude and personality to successfully help that individual or individuals. The education and background that a counselor have to poses allows them to cope, support, understand and listen too the students personal issues. There is no level of education that will help prepare a person for the hard and emotional times I believe that in order to be a guidance counselor you must have a special passion for the field. I think that cause I am in a classroom room setting 8hrs a day I didn't get the full view of what the responsibilities of a guidance counselor are. I have a new found respect for the counselors.
