I actually happened into high school without intending to! I was an elementary and middle school teacher for quite some time. I always thought I'd be counseling at one of those levels. When I was applying, the only position open was for an alternative setting at the high school level. Oh man, I was so scared to take that leap! But so very glad I did. My students have taught me as much as I have hopefully taught them! It's never too late, you know! The world needs more passionate and compassionate high school counselors! ;-)
