      "I feel my greatest strength as a counselor and as a person is the ability to listen and empathize with situations that can arise as a young person. I believe the best avenue towards helping anyone is to make them feel like their voice matters and that someone cares for them. Listening to someone else's perspective can be a powerful tool in building trust, which is key to helping anyone solve their problems."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      Very good strength to highlight as a school counselor. Bringing your personal beliefs into your response is a nice touch.
