I. Core Beliefs - My core belief in school counseling is supporting students through diverse and complex changes. Although learning is a lifelong process for humans, fostering a mental health plan for students to follow is very beneficial in schools, homes and communities so that students will fully express their potential.

II. School Counselor's Role - A school counselor’s role is to implement successful ways to ensure academic and emotional health advancement of the student’s in their care. Counselor’s should develop programs with the child’s future in mind. Specifically high school, after the child is finished with secondary school they should be mentally, emotionally and sometimes academically prepared to independently care for themselves. School counselor’s are vital in the success of students when it comes to their mental health. While considering guidelines, trained counselors should be able to back their role with the student’s progress.

III. Guiding Standards - All of the guiding standards should be followed while counseling students to professionally promote structure between the counselor and student. All of the standards are put in place for one reason and that’s to implement a successful community among all students and leaders.

IV. Vision Statement - As a school counselor, I vow to make it my mission to provide any student that I come across with the best support that I can give academically, emotionally and mentally. I vow to empower my student’s to reach their maximum educational potential and to also help pave the way for their future success.

School Competency Assessment

School Competency Assessment Strengths

While self-assessing my school competency, I can safely say that I have great self confidence in ability to succeed being that I have helped a lot of peers and associates overcome many obstacles. I also believe belonging in the school environment is my calling because I feel like I’ve walked a mile in many different shoes. I will be able to point out different personalities and help students become a better them and create and promote different programs for student success; That alone proves a great strength when belonging in the school environment. I strive to be positive in any situation. I love learning new things and about different backgrounds so with that I know I will always have a positive attitude towards work and learning more.

School Competency Assessment Weakness

The downfall to my assessment results are demonstrating critical thinking skills to make informed decisions and using written communication skills. I have never like writing which is a very important source in today’s life but having to come up with different ways to write for something simple is not my type of groove. I do not like to write and express something simple in many complicated ways which is my top weakness that I’m learning to work on. Also, critical thinking makes me think deeper than what’s expected, and I start to go all over the place but with time my mind will get better and stronger so I can make sense in the end.
