High School counselors have their work cut out for them! Not only must they be a fountain of facts, but they must also be a diplomat with parents, mediator to students, and supporter of their school"s processes and procedures. Add to these the administrative skills of a scheduler and the wisdom of a Solomon to differentiate between right and wrong and make that choice, and you have a profession that is not only challenging but also rewarding.
Who then is a counselor? He or she is an ordinary human being with extraordinary skills. Many of these skills can be learned in the college or post-grad classroom, but most are learned daily in the counseling office. Counselors should choose to be counselors because they love children and young people. If we do not love our job, we should not be in education, much less counseling office
