Personal Statement: A Career As A Counselor

201 Words1 Pages
I am an extremely caring person. I use my caring personality to help children when I am a counselor at a local camp over the summers, as well as when I help fellow students in the Math Lab here at Indiana State University. I am also passionate about helping others. I have been fortunate enough to have people in my life whom have helped me through the rough spots in my life. I want to be that person for someone else. I realize that I would not be where I am today without the help these people have given me. I do not want anyone to go through life without someone there to support and encourage them. I am also a great communicator because I know when to speak and when to just listen. This is a skill that I feel has been somewhat lost in my generation.

When I first came to Columbia College it was with the intention to work with youth in the foster system. However, after almost ten months and a lot of growth in myself I have decided to not just work with youth, but also families. This is because families are where individuals grow, develop, and build their character. In the work I currently am doing as a family support worker I am most often working with families doing supervised visitation for court orders. What this means is that I transport, observe, and am responsible for the supervision of youth during a visitation.

Throughout life, having real and honest conversations that support growth, positive change, and owning responsibility are critical to self-actualization. I want to empower my students to give their best effort in all areas of life, not just their education. I believe that simple encouragement in this type of environment is the key to positive change, and I wanted to dedicate my professional life to reflect that belief. I whole-heartly believe in the holistic approached to a balanced and fulfilling life and being a school counselor is a unique career that fulfills this value.

Just like a quote from “To Kill a Mockingbird”, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view; until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” I try my best to let people know, that I would never judge them for anything they 've done, and that they can be comfortable telling me their problems and that I will surely help them in any way I can. If I just met the person I put all rumors, or negative things I have heard about them aside and I get to know them myself before listening to anyone else’s opinion of them. I try my best to simply live everyday treating others as I would want to be treated. This has helped me because I have formed many friendships and people don 't hesitate to come to me for help, and I do not hesitate to help them.

Theoretical assumptions: People used to see career counselling as making a decision in regard to which career path to follow after having one or two meetings with a career counsellor (Krumboltz, Foley & Cotter, 2013). According to Hall (2004) this few has changed over the past two decades and it is clear that career development is not a onetime choice but rather a lifelong process. Savickas (2012) argues that the form of career intervention must change just like the form of work changes to reflect the labor needs of the twenty-first century. Krumboltz, Foley and Cotter (2013) argues that clients must create more satisfying lives for themselves with the help of counsellors. A model of career counselling, the happenstance learning theory, helps
