    I want to retrieve preparation as a school counselor because it would be a very rewarding career. High school was a critical time in my life because there were many teachers, coaches, and counselors that invested in my development and shaped who I am today. Many of these faculty members became role models and major inspirations to me.

It is ideal for me to pursue a career as a high school counselor to positively impact young people’s lives similarly to my experience, which creates an…

    Being a School Counselor is a very rewarding profession. “School counselors reject the use of high-stakes test or the use of any other single measurement instruments the only indicator of student success”(ASCA, 2014). The school counselor encourages multiple measures when life-influencing decisions are being made. It permits the probability of imprinting positive impacts on the lives of so countless students. Taken as a whole, School counselors convey the responsibility of caring for the not only the academic realization of their students. Being a school counselor allows those seeking careers in this profession to work personally with students during…

    American School Counselor Association (ASCA), a branch of ACA, was set up in 1952, helps school counselors to support the students focus on academic, social/personal and career development so that they can succeed in the school and graduate then become responsible member of society. ASCA offers professional progress, various resources, academic studies and advocacy to all its members in USA and worldwide. In 2001, The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) started The ASCA National Model: A Framework for School Counseling Programs as an outline for scheming, developing, applying and assessing standard based, data-driven school counseling program. School counselors change their attention from service-centered program to program-centered to give the chance to all students. ASCA's objective in developing the model is to institutionalize the framework for and process of developing a school counseling program (Association, 2012).…

    As I read my first assignment for new students in the School Counseling Program, my reasoning to be a school counselor was simple; to help others. I noted that I wanted to help others in two manners. One, I wanted to help students toward an achievable goal, including graduation. Two, I wanted to help with discipline. This included helping teachers with classroom management as well as helping students to understand the reasoning behind rules and procedures. Because I am so comfortable and familiar with the high school age group, I gave the school counseling survey to three individuals in three different levels of education: elementary, intermediate, and junior high.…

    As I evaluate my past and look towards my future, I realize that I did not choose the counseling field, instead it chose me. As a result, the experiences that have led me to this career choice have also made me an advocate for U.S. military soldiers suffering from Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, sexual assault and suicides/suicides attempts. In addition, my reason for seeking a graduate degree in clinical counseling is due to my desire to work with troubled teens, particularly those from military families. Because the study of clinical counseling incorporates the study of other disciplines…

    Today counselors serve as researchers, psychologists, clinicians, social workers and mental health psychiatrists whose effort is to meet the needs of a diverse population (Erford, 2015). Additionally, school counselors meet the needs of student in three areas: academic, career, and personal/social development through classroom instruction, assessments, consultation, counseling, coordination and collaboration with other staff members and parents (American Counseling Association, 2007). These services will help students’ tenacity in emotional, social or behavioral giving students a better sense of direction for their future. Lastly, I believe that the role of a counselor is to provide students with the necessary tools to make decision regarding academic, social, and personal…

    School Counseling

    After I read the ASCA Model on page 9 of textbook, I knew the leadership, advocacy, teaming and collaboration and systemic change are all what school counselors should focus on. I also learned that school counseling is a profession that focuses on the relations and interactions between students and their school environment with the purpose of reducing the barriers in order to help students to success. In my opinion, the team-member and collaborator is the most challenging for a school counselor in an urban school setting. Because as an effective team-member and collaborator, school counselor work with teachers, administrators and other school personnel to make sure that each student succeeds. However, sometimes working with other school setting educators is not very easy. For example, some teachers do not like to follow the advices from counselors, they believe that their ways are perfect. Hence, they do not want to hear the voice from counselors. I understand everybody has different ideas, but I also believe that our students will get benefits if we can work together as a team. We share our opinions and hear everyone’s advice. Because our goals are same, we all hope each student succeeds. Even though the coloration is challenging and difficult, we still need to do it with our efforts.…
