When You Start to Lose Faith, Watch This

Have you ever worked with a student who pushes your buttons? Have you ever felt like you weren't making a difference in your students' lives? Oh, wait...who hasn't? To over simplify things, school counselors are in charge of their school's climate. Unfortunately, stuff happens, even when you have a great proactive program in place. The thing about working with people is that they aren't robots - go figure! They are unpredictable, exposed to a variety of stimuli, and often react passionately to their surroundings.

So, as we gear-up for 2013-2014, how can we prepare for those days when we want to run from our buildings? Well, here's a little dose of hope. You may have heard about the controversial Cheerios commercial that aired recently. The following video is how kids reacted to it and their responses will (I hope) remind you that our youngest generation is beautiful, loving, and gentle...even under their sometimes rough exterior. There is hope that our world is becoming more empathic and open-minded.

Anyway, watch this video. This year, try to remember the sweet, innocent child inside that grouchy 6th grader. ;)

Pretty cool video. I have a similar blog but we focus more on elementary guidance stuff with quotes, book reviews, and more.
