[quote=Anonymous]Our counselor really helped identify my daughter's specific pillars of interest and focused her on developing those (vs. trying lots of different things). I just took a look at the resume they developed together, and it really highlights her strengths in a way that I am not so sure we would have done without her. We started at the end of 10th grade and the first thing she did was to help craft her narrative and guide her to focus on those specific areas of interest. For example, with so many school clubs available, DD was trying lots of different things in 9th and 10th grade. She suggested pulling away from things that don't fit the narrative and focusing more time and energy on those areas they had identified. That alone, to us, was worth it. We also got very good guidance on course selection. All of this work was helpful because DD did not have access to her college counselor until second half of junior year.[/quote]
