Episode Description
I can not tell you how often I have heard a student or grown adult say, “My counselor told me I could not.” UGH! The thought of counselors everywhere dashing the dreams of teens makes me nuts. Trust me, none of us mean to do it. What some of you may not know is that the recommended student to counselor ratio is 250:1. Our national average is nearly double that. While 21 states have an average UNDER 400, 6 states have an average that exceeds 600. All the others lie somewhere in between. Do not blame the counselor, blame the system, and then take control of your future. That is what I am here for. I am here to supplement what you get at school, to be your virtual college counselor. I am your guide, your coach, and your road map to college. I am your biggest fan and number 1 cheerleader! Today, I will give you my 4 top things you need to ensure your success. Episode 28
