After School Counselor Personal Statement

I have been planning my career for several years,but as an undergraduate I was undecided on which direction to go. My love for children flourished when I started my first job in a daycare as a after-school counselor. This brought me many years of joy, and showed me how wonderful working with children can be. These starting years have given me experience in working with children from infants to adolescents . I knew my love for children would not stop here for me.

I still remember my high school guidance counselor Mrs.Albermore She had a great connection with her students and made sure to include her attention to each and every student. I remember her being so helpful to me throughout my whole high school experience; whether I needed someone to ask me how my days was or what schedule I wanted for next semester, she was not far away. The bond she had with her students is so inspirational to me and I could never forget the one we had. She encouraged me to do my best and that I can achieve anything I put my mind to. I want to bring this encouragement to my students one day, I don't just want to be a school counselor I want to motivated my students, listen to them and give them encouragement that each one will become the best they can be.
My current job is a head teacher in a day care center. I enjoy this job as well as the others but I definitely feel a need to do more. I want to be part of a place that can take my career to the next level. To inspire me and allow my love for helping others to continue to be at use. Becoming a high school counselor is a career path that I have thought about for quite some time and now is the time for me to push through and make it my reality. I am excited in taking the next steps to my future and looking forward to the days ahead of
