In some cases, a Fat person may be more athletic than a Thinner person but if you base your decision just on looks, your eyes may deceive you.  We should be ashamed of our past, but not of our Nation's beginning actions of inclusivity.

As a future school counselor, I believe that every student is different in their own special way and deserves an equal opportunity to be heard within their expressions. Children are very intelligent beings who are not all going to learn things at the same rate as one another. Many students are affected by things in their everyday lives such as their environment, their support system, and their momentary wellbeing. Every student should always be treated with respect and no student should be judged, no student should be made fun of or spoken down upon inside or outside of this safe space. Every student has different needs, and it will be my goal to ensure that all of my students have been accounted for and advocated for. I believe that ethical standards guide the work of school counselors in a way that it helps us to understand what we should and should not be doing as counselors. It also helps to ensure that counselors don’t override or undermine their important roles in the lives of their clients. Personally, I believe that having an ethical standards guide will help me to be the best counselor that I can be because I will have a set of rules that I can always refer to.  ]]> 2022-04-25 05:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/riannawilliams07/Bookmarks/wish/2155965050 Vision riannawilliams07 https://padlet.com/riannawilliams07/Bookmarks/wish/2155965869 As a counselor, it is my vision to ensure that each and every single child that falls within my school district is fairly advocated for and know that they are supported by their counselor regardless of what anyone else may say or feel. I will make sure that all of my students feel comfortable enough to express their feelings to their counselor and to know that my office is a safe place.  ]]> 2022-04-25 05:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/riannawilliams07/Bookmarks/wish/2155965869 Infographic riannawilliams07 https://padlet.com/riannawilliams07/Bookmarks/wish/2155966955 “Cyberbullying Infographic Archives - e-Learning Infographics.” Cyberbullying-Infographic/, https://elearninginfographics.com/tag/cyberbullying-infographic/.]]> 2022-04-25 05:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/riannawilliams07/Bookmarks/wish/2155966955 Lesson Plans riannawilliams07 https://padlet.com/riannawilliams07/Bookmarks/wish/2155971766 “Bullying Awareness Lessons, Activities and Resources.” Https://4 H.ca.uky.edu/Files/stc11_bullying_program.doc_1.Pdf]]> 2022-04-25 05:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/riannawilliams07/Bookmarks/wish/2155971766 Competency Reflection riannawilliams07 https://padlet.com/riannawilliams07/Bookmarks/wish/2155989769 From my competency test results, I was slightly surprised because I but yet disappointed. The more I take counseling courses the closer I see myself getting to being an actual professional. On this assessment, I scored pretty low in most categories, but this just means that I need to focus more on my awareness.
