My vision as a school counselor is to provide all students with the empowerment and knowledge to be the greatest versions of themselves and to guide them into a positive direction academically, socially, and emotionally whilst assisting with their development as they grow older and experience new things in their lives (Jaliyah Walton, 2023).

Overall, I feel that the assessment provided me with a thorough understanding of different views and approaches as well as a great understanding of the framework that is needed to guide school counselors successfully throughout their careers. Though, I could use some improvement in all areas that were discussed in the assessment, I know that I will continue to expand my knowledge and consistent practices as I progress through this program.

I did well with accessibility, advocacy, and student success. I figured that I would, since I am aware that I have a good mindset for assisting others with their needs as well as creating good rapports and relationships with others. I believe that getting the students access to opportunities and resources will be a strong suit of mine as a professional school counselor. I feel that I will do well with planning and assessment once I have all the appropriate knowledge and skills to assist the students. Direct and indirect student services are also one of the areas that I did well in. This goes in hand with me being a strong leader within the school community to be able to provide my expertise and ability to successfully contribute to the well-being of the students.

I realize that I will need improvement with my professional foundation. As time goes on, I know I will learn the proper policies and procedures to follow as a school counselor. Though this is just the beginning for me, I know I will grasp all there is to know throughout the rest of this program (Jaliyah Walton, 2023).
