›Here I go!
Nov 02 2006
After years of school, I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I will soon officially be a “counselor”. Does having this title really change what I do? I don’t think my schooling is what made me a counselor. Yes, the knowledge and skills I have gained make me more capable, but I have been counseling all of my life.
Through the years, I have found myself attracted, not just in a physical sense, to people with issues. I know. Everyone has their issues, but I mean major issues like heroin addiction, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. My goal was never to change who they were, but I wanted to learn as much as I could about them. In return, I often made a difference in their lives just by not judging them.
I have often wondered…do I search them out or do they come to me?
