Reading with an open mind.
After my first interview, I started to do more look at the different types of school counseling. And I started looking at Middle School counseling and how much different it was compared to College counseling or Advising . And I will continue to do more research on that to see which one will suit me best. And once I figure that out, I will focus more on it.

Blog 5: Project Reflection and Working EQ
Content:
The Pentagon:
1. Positive Statement: So far, the things that I have completed have made me realize that Counseling isn't a career that is easy, at least not as much as I thought it would be.
2. EQ Content: Counseling Psychology is the piece of research that I am going to pick because I feel that it has really helped me understand how Psychology is involved in Counseling. At first, I just thought about it in the simplest way possible. People come in your office, ask you questions and leave with answers. But with my research and my mentor, I have learned that-that isn't always the case. There are or can be many complications in between that can affect answers as well as the questions.
3. What has worked with my senior project is that I know my mentor well. I've known her since I was a toddler. We both get along and I feel extremely comfortable with her. I can ask her any question and she can answer then thoroughly.
4. What hasn't worked is that my mentor lives about an hour away from where I live. So having to schedule a meeting with her, or simply being able to talk to her is pretty tough but I know she always tries her best to include me in her daily hours so even though, this is and will be something that can bring complications to my senior project, I know that with her help, I can succeed.
5. Finding Value: I don't really have a question in mind yet and yes I know that isn't good but i'll figure it out soon. And for my mentorship, I plan in seeing my mentor and shadowing her more often to understand her job better and learn from her past and present experiences involving her job. With that, i'll be able to determine if Counseling, will be the right job for me.
