Spark Discussion: What Does It Mean to Be a Counselor?

When you first considered counseling as a career path, what did you imagine it would be like? You may not have asked yourself that question yet. Now is the time to consider what your future career might be like on a day-to-day basis.

Imagine these details: the clients you see yourself helping, the location of your workspace, the coworkers you interact with, and how you might become an advocate and agent of social change. With this clear picture in mind, you can better prepare yourself for developing the skills and professional identity of a mental health counselor.

For this Spark Discussion, contemplate the details described in the paragraph above (and feel free to go beyond them—the sky’s the limit), and prepare to share your vision for your future as a mental health counselor.

To Prepare:

• Review the Course Introduction and Syllabus.
• As you prepare for this Spark Discussion, keep in mind that your focus should be professional and not personal in nature.
• Consider your motivations for becoming a counselor.
• Imagine that you have completed your Master’s program and you have become a fully licensed mental health counselor.

By Day 3

Post the following:

• Describe your motivation for becoming a counselor.
• Describe your vision for your future role as a counselor. Include as many details as possible, including
  • the clients you will counsel;
  • how you are helping them change;
  • the setting where you will counsel; and
  • how you will serve as an agent for social change.
• Feel free to go beyond these questions if additional details emerge for you.

Read your colleagues’ postings and respond if you wish.

Note: Spark Discussions are intended to generate ideas and spark thoughts before you review the week’s Learning Resources or begin your Assignments. Therefore, no APA citations of Learning Resources are required for your Spark posts. For this reason, your responses may be briefer than a regular Discussion post. A response post to your colleagues is not required, although you are welcome to respond if you choose.

WEEK 1 DISCUSSION

Experience with Writing

Scholarly/academic writing necessitates different sets of standards when compared to other forms of writing. It is a form of writing where the writer must avoid bias, build a compelling argument and incorporate evidence. It requires the use of a language that is concise, clear, and error-free.

My experience with writing has been a bit fulfilling. However, I have not been able to achieve all my writing goals because of various weaknesses. In my writing experience, I have experienced a few issues, with the most evident one being the endless agreement errors. Besides that my first language is not English, it is Spanish, means grammar is not 100% perfect. Most of the problems that have been raised by my lectures have a lot to do with the incorrect use of subjects, pronouns, verbs, and the words replaced by these elements, and this has resulted to the occurrence of agreement errors. This has been my biggest hindrance, and I thoroughly need to work on it to improve my writing. Perfecting my writing skills will help me achieve most of my academic as well as my professional goals. There are other minor issues like occasional use of mixed constructions, but I would first like to deal with this giant problem before the others.

Based on my research, there are various strategies I can apply to overcome this challenge. The first strategy is to identify the sentences that are likely to pose problems; for instance, those with mixed subjects, collective nouns/pronouns, and verbs or those with inverted order of words. I may also read the sentences loudly to listen and appreciate their meanings. Using this technique, I will be able to pinpoint the agreement errors after reading them out loud. Additionally, I can also locate the verb (s) and link their association to the subject to solve the errors. I believe that with continuous practice, I will be able to address this issue together with the other minor issues related to my writing. By the end of this course, my writing skills will be on a higher new level; hence I will be able to realize my professional and academic goals.
