"Changed Impressions"

My impression of the role and responsibilities of guidance counselors have changed mainly due to my ignorance. Just the fact that I did not understand their full role and responsibilities. It is much more than meets the eye. I was quite impressed with the amount of training and practicum hours required. A person can truly understand some one's job or role once they are informed about what it takes to do their job. Counselor's are not just advocates for the student, but plays an integral role with the community by coordinating resources with the school to meet the developmental needs of the student.
