Growing up just like the average kid, I wanted to become a lawyer. Mostly because, it is something that every parent wishes for their children. The reason being, it is one of the most popular jobs in America and everyone knows that it is also one of the highest paying jobs. As a child gets older and understand the real world they notice that, not everyone is fit for a specific field in their career. I notice this change when I was in high school. I was involved in many different clubs in high school, but my favorite one was the Characters Club, it was designed to mentor younger student around our township (grades 3 to 6) on how to become an anti-bully zone. The advisor that was running this club was the SAC counselor for Neptune High School. …show more content…

The biggest one in my eyes would be a self-actualizing person. A self- actualizing person is an ideal counselor. They are very open minded, has a good sense of humor, very creative. Being open for critic and knowing how to be patient is very important. Sometimes clients will try to say that, this or that must not be right and as a counselor you should be about alter or take extra time to explain why you (the counselor) thinks this is best for the client. Having a sense of humor would be the key to establish a bond with the client. Making them feel comfortable is the main objective.

Just like every teach has a style of teach every counselor should have their own way of counseling it is important to be creative. Sometimes switching up the way we do something can be very …show more content…

As I mentioned I knew I wanted to be a counselor but I never knew the step-in order to get my foot out the door. This course thought me the do’s and don’ts in order to be a successful counselor. I always knew that in order to be a counselor you must really want to help them, just like there are corrupt cops there would be counselors that will only do it for the money or because they believe it is an easy job. Every time anyone ask me what I am trying to do with my psychology degree, they look at me crazy and tell me that there is no money in that field. I respectful express to them that I am not doing this for the money. I want to wake up every morning and be grateful for doing something that I truly desire. I know copious amount of individuals that wake up every morning regretting there career. Sadly, but that is how society is build, everyone is just money hungry and now putting there all into their

With each club, I have been given the responsibility to lead younger students and hopefully influence them to be just as passionate as I am for the events and activities that we take on. I believe that clubs are a way for students to be involved with the school and have their voices heard in order for change to occur. It is also a safe place for those who have been bullied and need help making friends. Along with clubs, I have been taking Leadership since grade 9 to learn how to be a better leader and to improve the school atmosphere. Throughout my Leadership experience, I have learned that it takes a lot of responsibility in order to be a good citizen.

Part 1 After reading chapter four of Counseling Today: Foundations of Professional Identity, I could not help but feel slightly overwhelmed by the characteristics list of effective counselors. I used to generally think of counseling as a profession that called for honesty, patience, great listening skills, and the ability to communicate and that it heavily relied on knowledge, theories, and techniques. However, this chapter truly made me reframe my thinking about the importance of character traits in the counseling profession. My first reaction was to feel that my workload has doubled, since I need to work on my personal growth as well as my academic growth. All the characteristics on the list seem reasonable and necessary for counselors.

• Therapists try to repeat what the client said in their own language as to make the client see his own ideas from a different perspective. • Therapists never make decisions for the client or give out a readymade solution. They always try to show the client all the different paths he or she has and the client makes the final decision for their own selves. • All the emotions of the client, whether positive or negative are accepted by the therapist any kind of venting out is good, whether it be laughing or getting angry, even with the therapist.
