I work in the Student Success Center at our high school, helping our students realize their post-secondary plans. Most of our students will be the first in their family to attend college and we help them to navigate through the complex application process. In the past, our students have achieved admission into prestigious colleges and have earned thousands of dollars in scholarships. This year is one of great uncertainty and I want our students to be able to get the support they need with college and career planning in the safest possible environment. Our office is located in our library, a space that houses a classroom and other offices. I work with three other counselors, and we hope to be able to social distance in the space while continuing our hands-on approach to counseling. Air purifiers and sneeze guards will be key to creating a secure environment. The safety of my students and their families is my top priority and having sneeze guards and the best air filtration system available is something they deserve. They should be able to focus on planning a bright future in these dark times without being nervous that they are compromising their health.
