    This is my eighth year of working in a high school as a counselor. It does get to be very disturbing at times. I have seen so many students that just don't care and just about as many parents that don't seem to take the time to help their students get through this very difficult time in their lives. Many students have no boundaries or consequences. I have heard complaints about how the school is not helping the students, however we are not the parents/guardians. I really want to help students, but it is so hard to try to motivate an unmotivated student without support from home. This having been said, I love my job. It is the students that look at me and thank me for helping that keeps me going. I try to remember what made me become a counselor in the first place.
