#CounselorsHelp
With this project of counselor appreciation, it really opened my eyes about counselors. I have never truly used one, but my friends acknowledged my tweet and we were able to have some quality conversations about counselors. I never truly realized the affect counselors have on people. My favorite story that Heard was from one of my friend's named Jamie. She had a counselor back in high school, Mrs. K, who was simply a best friend for her. It was so cool to see how close they got and just the impact Mrs. K had on Jamie's life. She truly showed that she was there for Jamie no matter what, and that is something I feel like most people tend to overlook about counselors.
I decided to use twitter for my social media platform so that it could be simple. I didn't want to force anyone to open up completely in front of the world, but allow a conversation to occur in real life. Several of my friends did acknowledge the tweet and we had some great conversations. Like Jamie's story, it was so cool to just listen to the impact of counselors.
Even though I personally have never used one, it is nice to know that counselor's truly care and are always willing to talk and build a strong relationship. People tend to neglect them, but we need more people like counselors in this world, always being willing to be there for someone.

Brandon, I really liked reading your blog. You picked an option that I didn't so it was interesting to see your tweet and it is awesome that people responded to it. Good job!
ReplyDeleteBrandon,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post. It was a great idea to use the counselor help conversation on twitter. I agree with Jamie's post about how beneficial counselors can be. Professional counselors can really make a positive impact on an individual's life and aid them in healing from a mental disorder or illness. They also help improve the quality of an individual's life. I believe a therapist can even save an individuals life indirectly if they are suicidal.
Listening to the story about Mrs. K, it reminded me of those good friends and their advice. Impacting the lives of others will bring with it a double ray of light, for those who give it, and for the counselor who sees gratitude reflected in the eyes of the counselee. Thanks Brandon for sharing your blog!
ReplyDeleteI liked reading your blog man! Its nice to hear how some counselors out there truly do care about the well being of each individual and being a mentor to kids while having fun with it. I think it is an important aspect to the position that is often taken for granted or overlooked in schools today. Great story to read!
