My Project

I want to be the school counselor who pushes and challenges my students to be better. The books will help me be better versed and give me ideas for lesson plans for the group. The inspirational bracelets are given out to students as a prize, which is a daily reminder to bring their best foot forward. I want to grow as a school counselor--there is always something to learn or improve upon and I want to show my students we never stop learning! To encourage them that even I, as a counselor, never stop learning--or growing.
