As the 2014-2015 school year enters the final stretch, my professional journey an exit to a different highway. I was offered and accepted the position of Middle School Counselor at South Vienna Middle School in South Vienna, Ohio.
This journey has given me the opportunity to fulfill another dream of mine, to teach in the middle school that I attended. I will be finishing my 12th year as Spanish teacher in the high school I attended, so this is perfect. I spent this year teaching 2 periods of Spanish courses to 8th graders this year, so I am not completely new to the building.
School Counseling is something I am extremely passionate about. I cannot wait to get in there with the students and make lasting impacts on their lives, work with staff members and do all the things I possibly can to be the best school counselor I can be.
I plan to use this blog, to chart my journey during my first year as a school counselor. Personal reflection is key for people to grow, so I intend to be honesty with myself and you all on how this journey goes.
Like I have tried to teach my students over the years, you may not know where the journey goes and how it will go, but that doesn't mean you do not jump at the chance! You will never reach your potential if you never start!
Thanks for joining me. The journey begins in earnest this coming school year.
