Counselor? When you hear this word? Do you think of a helper who is ready to help any student no matter the challenge they face academically or socially? Because it is true that Lincoln high school new counselor Chris, LaCarrubba. Is ready to help any student with any endeavor they face.
“I’ve been in education for 13 years, before I got into education I was a soccer coach and found it incredibly rewarding helping youth out and saw that there was a need for youth worker and that education was not getting the resources it needed.”
LaCarruba has been in education for 13 years and it shows in his work with students.
“You’ll always want to do the best you can for students and give them all the time they need, so I guess the challenge is balancing the different demands that we have.” said LaCarrubba
LaCarruba says he finds the most challenging part of being a counselor is balancing different demands. Having to stay emotionally invested in each request is a challenge but by pulling through and giving the same amount of attention to every student’s request is important to the success of every student both academically and personally.
“Good counselors are supportive in all students’ challenges,” said LaCarruba. “The most important part of being a counselor is reminding students that they are larger than any problems that they may face, their resilience and that their voice is important. I think a counselor's job is to advocate for students' voices.”
LaCarruba tries to be supportive, and to advocate for students while reminding them that they are important no matter the circumstances that they are in, because to him making sure students have a fulfilled life is the most important part of his job.
“Be ready to work, work hard, no matter how much the paper piles up around you,
Said LaCarruba. “You need to make sure that you stay focused on students needs”
Said LaCarruba. “You need to make sure that you stay focused on students needs”
