Changed Impressions

After perusing the several articles, I was impressed on the history of documented counselors from as far back as the 1800's. I was also intrigued by the dynamics of guidance counselors and their career responsibilities with clarity on the functions of the elementary counselors compared to the middle and high school counselors. I agreed with the process of" prevention versus remediation" because of the state of our society. I call our students the "Microwave " generation because they want everything right now and tend to make bad choices and have to deal with the ramifications later. The guidance counselors are charged with assisting in the prevention of bad choices. I see now why our counselors do an awesome job with providing our students the opportunity to be involved with outside organizations and mentor programs. This will hopefully give the students incite for the individual growth and exposure to various elements.
