<strong>Scholarship</strong><br />
Why are you interested in becoming a school counselor?<br />
I am interested in becoming a school counselor because I love<br />
working with children and adolescents and I would like to be in<br />
a pr<strong>of</strong>ession where I could have the potential <strong>of</strong> positively<br />
impacting some <strong>of</strong> these young people‘s lives. I am a ―people<br />
person‖ and I love work where I am having the opportunity to<br />
interact with many different people each day. I also like that<br />
under Utah‘s Comprehensive Guidance program school<br />
counselors have the opportunity to go into classrooms and<br />
present guidance curriculum. I love teaching, and as a school<br />
counselor I most likely will have the opportunity to give<br />
classroom presentations. I have already done some <strong>of</strong> this in my<br />
school counseling practicum experience, and I greatly enjoyed<br />
the experience.<br />
