Application Essay #3

A year from now my personal goal is to become a counselor after graduating

Nichols College, Weather it’s in a school program or anywhere that includes counseling.

I am hoping to provide some hope and communication for others who need someone by

their side. I want to lead people in the right direction when it comes to helping

somebody with their hardships, and help them find ways on how to deal with it so they

can feel more confident and comfortable to overcome their hard moments in life. My

goal will be to learn how to give others a chance to speak upon their own ideas and

what they feel can be more helpful for them individually. I want to start by expressing

how I am as a person, give them some kind of background of who I am, and what I like

to do. So I can show them that I am an understanding person and I can be there when

they need me to be because that is what I am there for. My goal is to bring some good

energy around people I see needs some motive in their life, bring some joy and

happiness around. This job would provide me with great ideas, motives, and being

somebody’s person who can trust and rely on. Gives me a chance to help people work

through their life challenges. As I believe that being a counselor comes with big

responsibilities and I am willing to learn and accomplish them being someone who is

responsible and very well known as somebody who can provide very good information

and on top of their game when needed.

 After my great experiential internship with Coach Bob, I was able to learn how to

be the team's leader throughout their workout and push them to their limit, as we all

came with an idea to achieve something we all need help and work on as a team. As

coach Bob gave me the floor to motivate them. I Got an experience to express how

different we can do things or what else we could add as we proceed through the

workout and get a step closer throughout the process. Being their motive person gives

me such pride and happiness knowing when I come around I have the girls leaving their

workout with a good review and happiness after an awesome workout. Throughout my

experiential internship with the girls I learned how to be there person and motivate them

as we encouraged the hearts to get over their fear and become great into something

they never had motive doing. I simply enabled others to participate as I brought

confidence and great communication within the group. Being able to put the girls first

was one of the greatest feelings for them as they came in with an attitude as they

thought they weren't going to overcome their fear.

As I believe that one day I will be someone who I believe I can be after

graduating NIchols, I will be coming with great attitude throughout it all, always keep

others informed, get to know each other and be there through everything. guide them to

the right path. Show them that they can make it and all it takes is a step closer to

achieve what they believe they can do. and I will make sure I put that first before

anything. because me as a person, if I want to accomplish something I will do it in a

heartbeat with confidants and motivation! Not every person is like that but I can be there

to be their motivator and help them overcome their fear and open up. I want to be that

person everyone will remember.
