Bruce - Guidance Module POST 2

The most challenging aspect of a guidance counselor's job, in my opinion, must be dealing with so many different students effectively, with a positive outcome. I would not want to tell a student that they were not accepted to their school of choice, or would need to be enrolled in a remedial course the next semester. Dealing with all of the broken hearts and dreams would be very difficult. With those disappointments might also come upset parents. Being a master adviser to all of the students to which you are assigned must be incredibly difficult. The most rewarding aspect of the guidance counselor's job plays off of what I feel may be the most challenging aspect. That is, watching students achieve their dreams for the next major step in their life. Guiding students through the applications and financial aid process as well as all of the other paperwork required to enter college or technical school, and delivering them at their goal must be highly rewarding. Anytime that a student chooses the path of higher education, there is a sense of accomplishment as an educator. But, to be with the student through the entire process and see them through to the achievement of their goal must be especially rewarding.
