Rewards and Challenges

I feel as if school counseling is a very rewarding career. It would be most rewarding to see that scared freshman entering the realm of high school transform into the proud and educated senior walking across the stage at graduation. School counselors have a hand in their high school career every step of the way. I know they must feel accomplished to see their dedication and hard work finally pay off. I think the most challenging aspect would be just trying to stay on top of things. I can’t imagine keeping up with all of the responsibilities they have. Not to mention the communication aspect, they are responsible with keeping faculty, administration, students and parents in the know. That alone must be overwhelming. After these readings I have a lot more respect for our school counselors.
