The younger students are selected by the counselors as they know who needs the most support. After we are matched up with our Little Eagle, we…

The school gave the students instructions on what to bring and what to pack. The only reason why we had to cover our luggage so that we didn't have mud all over them. I said my goodbyes to my mom and walked into the school. I walked straight to the…

In response to the article, "School leadership and Counselors Working Together to Address Bullying"(Austin, Reynolds, & Barnes, 2012), there is both agreement and disagreement with their argument.

Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics generally refer to themselves? It takes a passion for learning, determination, and the ability to make the most of what you have. For that you are required to take seven college level courses, a two hour lab for all science classes, conduct six-weeks of summer research and still participate in extracurricular activities.

Too me educating yourself, gives you many windows of opportunity to improve your future. I have always felt that education is an excellent way to get out of an uncertain situation.

children feel that they don’t belong and are inadequate with children who are mono-racial. This can be a source of emotional distress for them as they feel they must identify with one race or another in order to get a sense of belonging. However school and societal views are not the only key factors of the self-identity of biracial children.…

I chose to use my comprehensive school counseling program notebook as my artifact that I created in Dr. Dixon’s School Counseling Programs because I believe it identifies the information needed to construct a developmentally appropriate academic, career and social/emotional counseling curriculum. The notebook illustrates the workable and useable knowledge, understanding, abilities, attitudes and skills that I have gained through the construction of the resource. This notebook will support my…

degree program in Early Childhood Education. One day I was talking with my counselor at Red Rocks Community College and she had mentioned to me they had just added it.

Not just be one of their teachers they have in their school years. I have always wanted to go to Africa and teach. When I made this…
