Reward and Challenges

I think that one of the most rewarding things for a counselor is to see that you made a difference in a person’s life. You may be the reason they made it to college instead of dropping out, or maybe you are the reason they come to school at all. A counselor has a limitless amount of students to pore into and make a difference in. One the hardest things to me would be getting involved in problems at home or a child being mistreated, sexually, physically, or emotionally. Sometimes to make a difference you have to, what the kids call “get in their business”. I think that there would be many rewarding aspect of being a counselor.
