Today is the first day of National School Counseling Week. The number one goal, as a school counselor, is to help you succeed. Whatever you need to be successful at school – whether that’s learning how to stay motivated to complete your work, having positive relationships with your fellow students, advocating for yourself or overcoming barriers. You’ve probably heard of actor and producer Tyler Perry. He said, “I don’t think the dreams die. I think people give up. I think it gets too hard.” Sometimes achieving your dreams IS hard, but counselors are here to help you not give up. A big thanks to Nicolet’s counselors and all the things they do, both big and small, to help students succeed.
