Rewards and Challenges

Rewards and Challenges comes with the territory for being involved in any form of education. A Counselor, I can imagine have a great deal of rewards and challenges. I think some of the rewards would be seeing students pass major exams, such as: The High School Graduation Tests and EOCT. Another reward would be when a counselor helping a student in a crisis situation or a domestic abuse situation, but being able to see the student in the same environment, but a more positive situation. I believe this will be rewarding for a counselor.

Challenges also come with the territory. A challenge would be a student who does not make necessary changes in their behavior or grading patterns. If a student digresses after meeting with a counselor. For Example, If a student promises the counselor to change and back tracks, the lack of progress,could be a challenge for the counselor.

  1. I agree with you 100%. I am sure it is a great reward to see students pass exams and escape domestic violence.

  2. I agree.. Very well put. The domestic abuse and crisis situation are hard to over come or over look. Being able to make a difference in a students life or family that really need the help is a reward on both ends.
