The article is a first-person narrative of a counseling practitioner of her experiences of working in high school. After two years of internship, the author was greatly discouraged by her work, therefore, opted to hide herself back in the academia by pursuing a higher degree. With the completion of her study, she came back to serve again as a counseling practitioner at the time when a new policy for high school counseling was implemented. Groping her way along with her colleagues and with the partners in the Grassroot Teacher’s Association (GRTA), she learned to redefine her work as a counseling practitioner. As the author involved herself with the project of re-positioning Student Counseling Office on high school campus with the Entrance Examination Center, she realized that her job and her office were no longer marginalized. The significant awakening triggered a series of actions and relocations, which in turn helped her to write this article after her 22-years career as a professional counselor. The author argues: it is the thought that transforming ideas into actions does make a difference which sustains her long and rewarding career as a high-school counselor. |
