“Rewards and Challenges.”

I believe the most rewarding moment for a counselor is when that emotional, heart broken, academically challenged student pull through and reach his/ her goals. This moment shows off the students drive and determination that the guidance counselor had instilled in him/ her.

The challenges that I see are having to deal with the upset, over confident, supportive and brain washed parent. This moment would take all of the the counselors soft skills, hard skills, and education background to productively help the student and parent.
