I am a School Counsellor
I was a School Counsellor the moment I realized students needed help and I could make a difference
Throughout the day I can be called upon to assist, encourage, intervene, give support, make serious decisions and more
I am privileged to see the potential in each and every student
Honoured that students and their families allow me to help them
Thankful that I have chosen a profession I can be proud of and one that allows me to leave a legacy
You, the parents allow me to enter your world and help the most precious gift you have been given in life your child
Students matter to me and I will counsel your children from my heart, always maintaining a professional response
I am a School Counsellor and I will never take that responsibility lightly
I will have the courage , strength and hope to do what is necessary
I will provide a place and a space where you can trust what I do
Knowing that you have allowed me to spend my precious days with the future
I am a School Counsellor and for that I am filled with gratitude each and every day

Written from the heart in a way that speaks to the heart of any trainer-teacher-learner. In fact, it serves as another manifesto for any of us involved in training-teaching-learning regardless of the age of the learners we support. I suspect this is a post I will return to for inspiration and important reminders on a regular basis.
Paul: Thank you for your thoughtful, kind words. I like that you can insert …. for school counsellor and utilize this in whatever role that you may undertake knowing that we are given such an amazing gift and responsibility.
