Guidance: Conferences via telephone with concerned
parents—all incorporated into a busy day.
The Guiding Light
Lost in an ambiguous world there is the imbroglio of choosing the right road toward
a career. Each road is the characteristic of an uncertain future. It is necessary,
therefore, that the experienced members of the community direct individuals into making
the right choice for them.
Guidance is important in order to open a person's eyes to his potentials and help him
to develop them and thereby achieve the supernal level of personal happiness as well
as social usefulness. It does not, however, deprive a person of his right to draw his own
destiny nor does it take complete over an individual's future, but rather it orientates
the individual toward those opportunities afforded by his environment which can best
guarantee the fulfillment of his personal needs and aspirations.
Guidance is leadership through understanding: to build confidence, to help individuals
adjust to personal situations, to attain success through the successes of others—these
are the ultimate goals of the guidance department members.
Without guidance there is no light and we would be lost. What an important job
these people have! What precious goals are set before them! And they succeed!
