PEER COU SELORS GUIDE Success is failure turned inside out. It's easy for people to say 'Keep Smiling' and 'Don't let people get you down', but it will happen, just don't ever quit and give up on your dreams. Everyone of you deserves the world! This is Brad Buikema's advice to students as a Peer Counselor. Peer Coun- selors were chosen to help GMHS students with their problems. They had to tryout in the spring by filling out applications and having an interview with the sponsors, Mr. Towner and Dr. Adams. Fourteen were then chosen. It didn't take any prepara- tion, because if you have the ability to talk to people, you don't need preparation. You just have to be able to listen, Tony Counts said. First semester, the Peer Counselors were in training. They learn counseling tech- niques, starting out by going on a retreat in the fall. Along with learning about coun- seling students, the Peer Counselors must learn about themselves first, which is also done first semester. I've learned a lot about myself, my morals, and my opinions. I've also learned techniques to help others such as paraphrasing, reflecting, and asking open-ended questions, said Donna Schmoker. They practice all these things by performing role plays. Second semester, peer counselors actually counsel students with their problems or just lend an ear for someone who may need it. I enjoy peer counseling because I care about other peo- ple. I enjoy helping other people talk things out. said jason Brehm. The peer counselors put their feet up, alter a long day at the retreat, to tell a joke.

156 CARI G STUDE Doing Good For Others Outside O School. Outdoor Lab counselors are those lucky people who get to miss school for a whole week and go up with the sixth graders. Most people think that sounds easy, but it takes a lot of work on the counselors part. In the spring, people who are interested in becom- ing a counselor apply. They are given a spontaneous questionnaire then an interview. They are required to have a 2.5 GPA and must also have teacher recommendations. From there, they are chosen. It takes a lot of work and preparation before they actually go up to outdoor lab with the kids. They are required to spend a total of two and one- half days with the kids before and a lot of meetings after school with sixth grader teachers about lesson plans. Forestry, water and wildlife, with no help. Then, they also teach two elective classes in fields they are interested in. They have a total of five hours of free time during the week. At night, they help with the activities the kids are doing. I encourage everyone try and go. I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't get the chance to go because its one of the best memories of high school. jim Wolfinbarger ends with, One good memory was the kids' en- thusiasm of learning.
