― Stephen Covey
A junior high
student I know ended up the sole student in a class with the guidance counselor
because the two other students who were scheduled for the same class were not
there. I asked this student if it was
strange as this was the first class with the counselor. "No," she said, "I felt as
though I were talking to someone I had known for a long time." And she proceeded to share details about the
conversation. The counselor had
obviously done a lot of listening and had also shared appropriate anecdotes
about her own life.
It really
does take a village to raise children and they need caring adults whom they can
trust in their lives. There is no doubt
in my mind that this counselor must be a very kind person to have won the trust
of a junior high girl.
