Cultural competency is the ability to have an understanding of different cultures points of views and world knowledge. It is important to realize that although people will strive to have cultural competency, it will always be something we are moving toward, not something we can have completely for all cultures.

As counselors, cultural competency is even more notably essential.…
To get something out of the way, I will make this very clear. I will never, in my whole human life, unless there a greater purpose, enunciate that I am the best student in existence.

School is a positive energy and it brings me satisfaction when I finish a term with a good grade, but at the same time it can be depleting.

School is a lot of dedication and at times I have to sacrifice other activities (such as family time, gym, friends) in order…
