Counseling Module Post1

Reading the information from the web sites made me realize that counselors have allot of pressure on them when it come to doing their job. As a counselor you have the pressure of making or breaking the career of a student. The role of the counselor and parent is closer than i ever thought. If the parents did not go to college or have knowledge of the items needed for a student to complete and be on track to get in school may fall all on the counselor. Being able to deal with students and parents with mental problems is also a challenge to them. They see more of it than the teachers at time. The pressure again on counselors to place students in the right classes for them to get the education to take them to next level is very important. One wrong move and that student may fail in life for the mistake that a counselor may have made or overlook in paper work.
