Life begins with knowing, yourself A new chapter of your life begins in high school. What do you want most — a change? — new friends? — direction? — knowledge? All of these and more can be found at Fordson. The counselors at Fordson are here to help the students meet their needs and wants. Helping two-hundred and eighty students is no easy job for one counselor. The most difficult part of counseling is being alert to each student as an individual, focusing on individual needs and wants. Counseling goes deeper than just providing facts and occupational needs to the students. The counselor is there to try his best to help you discover who you are . . . what you can do . . . what you can’t do . . . and where you are going. When you know yourself, your needs and wants are better understood; when understood, they have a better chance of being accomplished. 14 Counseling
