It may sound nerdy but I get really excited about the annual conferences of the American Counseling Association (ACA). My head spins when I think of the thousands of professional counselors gathering together to share insight, heartfelt stories, and groundbreaking research. The inspiring energy is palpable in the air.

I was in eighth grade when I decided to pursue a career in the counseling field. Fifteen years later, I look back at the enriching journey and I feel grateful for all the gifts of wisdom I have received along the way. As a future educator I feel obligated to share some of these valuable lessons.
