Recommended: Professional issues in counselling

Phillip Date Prof Class In the professional realm I am well-tempered, reliable and an effective communicator. A good example of a time when I exhibited all three qualities would be during the summer when I served as a Tutor Counselor for Upward Bound at Mercer University. One morning, I woke up to two of my students knocking on the door because water was running through their ceiling. First, I found the source of the problem (a toilet overflowed from the third floor and poured all the way down to the first floor). Next, I sent a message to all the Tutor Counselors and the Resident Director so that they would be aware of the situation. Finally, I inspected the toilet and figured out how to shut it off. That being said, I still have many areas

    The first of these characteristics is my hard working mentality, and I am sure that this characteristic is thrown around a lot by candidates but I believe that I truly work harder than most people are willing to. I have had to earn every ounce of everything that I currently have. Whether it was finally getting into Pitt, or playing football at the DII college level the only reason I have ever been able to attain these achievements is that I put in the time, and worked harder than even I thought was possible for myself, I was never the most naturally gifted person in the world, I had to work hard, or I would not be in the position to even apply for a position such as this. Another thing that I feel differentiates myself is that I have experience in many different academic disciplines, I was not that student that simply took my major classes, and easy classes to get through school. I have taken and have a ton of interest in many different topics such as Political Science, and History. I feel that these multifaceted interests, and course history make me a great candidate for the

    I am a person who isn’t afraid to ask questions and I will be the first person to jump in and help the patient. For instance, in high school I was involved in student government and I was senior class president. While having these leadership positions I was responsible to figure out who was going to say what for graduation and when and where we were going to have senior sluff. I also was involved in the band presidency, where we raised money to go play in a competition at Disneyland. Throughout these activities I realized I’m a perfectionist, which can be a good thing, but I can’t perfect everything, and have learned to do my best. Additionally, I participated in volleyball from my freshman year to my senior year, this is where I realized that I can be shy when I don’t know what I’m doing, but I never gave up and became a very good player. In between my senior and junior year I went to Girls State, hosted by American Legions, where I learned so much about the government and a little bit of what college might be; which leads to when I went to Snow College and became involved in Rural Health Scholars. There I learned more about health care careers and continued to do community service. Through all of these activities I feel like I have grown and improved my strengths, especially my communication skills. For example, I’m a teacher’s

    One of my greatest skills is being able to be compassionate towards others. By placing myself into someone else’s shoes, I find myself being able to better understand where other people are coming from. I am an extremely caring person that will go to great lengths for anyone. I can easily overlook the differences in other people, and this is what helps me get along with almost anyone that I come across. In order to lead people in a positive direction you need to be able to relate to them on a more personal level. It is much easier when people feel comfortable around their leader. I always like to lend a helping hand or even a shoulder to cry on when it is needed. My strengths include integrity, optimism, faith, innovation, and adaptability. These strengths are important to have in leadership positions. Leaders should have a firm hold on their beliefs and morals in order to have a positive impact on people. Keeping my commitments is crucial to me, because I am a woman of my word. I think this is a good trait in leadership, because people need to be able to count on the person that they look up to. Optimism is also something I value. I belie...

  • Personal Narrative: My Interest In Social Work

    I could give you a text book resume style answer were I reverse psychology you with a weakness that is really a strength, like I’m too passionate about my work, or I’m a perfectionist but I live in the real world where people make real mistakes. On a side note, doing that would be like Luke (student) attempting to Jedi(teacher) mind trick Yoda; a nice Star Wars references to lighten the room. I have and will continue to make mistakes. I’m a procrastinator. I always get things done but never leave too many minutes unaccounted for. I like to see the good in people, which I have learned can sometimes make you naïve. I once took 3 kids to the YMCA at work and they stole $200 out of the bathroom and I did not for a second think they had anything to do with it, which they absolutely did. That can happen sometimes when you’re an optimist who doesn’t want to believe that people are capable of doing bad things. I will however, be the first to admit my mistakes and come up with a course of action to correct them. I always learn from my mistakes and try to never make the same mistake twice. I have always found that respect and laughter make the best work place, for employees and clients and that education and team work help to build strong and empowered employees. I will always stick up for what I believe is right and always speak up when I feel that something is wrong. So yes I could have given you a generic answer that 100 other people

  • Shaping a Counselor Education Career According to Personal Preferences

    I feel very fortunate in interviewing this Counselor Educator for I believe he has faced many challenges that have been concerning me. One concern in particular, is that as being a new CES graduate would necessitate my relocation to a region of the United States that I would find undesirable. I prefer the western United States, where I feel the outdoor culture and wilderness accessibility fits me well. Due to this interview, I began to feel that counselor education is more flexible and can be shaped to fit my needs and desires; that accepting an instructor position in a region which better suits me may not be sabotaging my career, opposed to seeking a tenure position in an area of the country where I am strongly averse to living. With this perspective, I now feel there exists the possibility of shaping my career in a way that I need not sacrifice what I find personally nurturing and desirable to pursue the golden ideal of a tenured track position.

  • My Leadership Pl My Personal Leadership Development Plan

    The two areas that best reflect my strong suits are respectful and inspiring. (Steadiness) Respect should not be taken lightly and people want others to show them that they are important. I am not the one to belittle, talk down to someone, embarrass the other person, or not acknowledge someone because they are not like me or do not hold a certain position. People respond in a negative manner and become very defensive when others treat them in any of the ways previously mention. I look at how I want others to consider when speaking and interacting with me. That is the way I have to try to handle myself when dealing with others. Taking calculated risks is what I do best because I cannot stand losing too much if the results do not outweigh the risks involved. I am also very critical on myself and can point out faults in a heartbeat. I have to analyze future actions before I act on anything because I do not want to go wrong or too far away from initial path. Repeating myself or actually running through multiple scenarios takes up a lot of time. Being overly critical on myself will eliminate some of that time that I cannot get back.

    One example that I specifically need to work on is my emotional intelligence. While I am able to maintain my emotional stability I know I lack empathy for others and will need to work on that skill specifically when I become a supervisor. I am always willing to help others, but I try to stay out of the emotional aspect. That is where my type A personality kicks in an I will help on tasks not with the emotional aspects. If I had one weakness that affects my organization, the most that will be the one I need to improve. Not necessarily for the prisoners I deal with but the co-workers and subordinates.

    For my assignment I have decided to choose a group which I have just finished taking for level 1 Hairdressing and they have progressed on to level 2 Hairdressing. This is within my current role as a hairdressing lecturer at Hugh Baird College which I have done since October. Within this group there are a couple of people who have support workers. There is one student within the group who has severe learning difficulties and is a more mature student. She also has many health problems which results in her having to carry an oxygen tank around for when she has any problems with her breathing due to her having problems with her heart. There is also another student in the class who has learning difficulties, she is very clever but just needs someone there for when she needs something explaining. She also has a support worker that comes in to give her support. This student has also been going through personal problems at home and has attendance issues. There is another student within this group who has severe dyslexia. She doesn’t have a support worker but the support people who are in there do give her help as she can have a tendency to give up, not to listen and just needs to be kept on track so by sitting next to a person that does have a support worker she gets the help from them. These three students have all had their level 1 qualification extended for a year were the rest of the group have progressed on to level 2 Hairdressing. Two of these students may progress on to level 2 but one doesn’t have the ability to be able to do this as the requirements are too high for her. The reason the course was extended for them was because they were struggling with the work that was required for this qualification, but as the col...
