Seek Your Future

Seek Your Future's mission is to provide comprehensive, caring educational and vocational counseling to current high school students and those who have already graduated.  I believe that all young people have the ability to dream a vision of their future and should have the opportunity and necessary support to seek and work toward a rewarding life.

I can assist families in several ways:

• Student Assessment: offer face-to-face meetings with students to assess their personal and academic strengths.  During this process, I focus on maximizing the positive aspects of their life and encourage them to express their feelings in a safe environment.

• Educational Options: review the student's academic history and assist them in planning how to increase their post-secondary options.  This  discussion will address what types of colleges may be the best "fit", including those with special resources and residence plans.

• Timelines:  work with the student to create a reasonable timeline for researching schools, taking exams, and admissions deadlines.  This can assist the student to stay on schedule without parents having to "nag".
  

• Finances:  meet with parents and students to discuss issues such as how to finance a college education and how this knowledge may impact their student's school choices.

• College List: build a list of colleges to consider and offer advice on how to maximize the student's success.  This may include guidelines for how to develop a relationship with admissions staff.

• Applications:  assist students with application materials, preparing for interviews and portfolios, and effectively utilizing online resources.

• Job Hunt:  coach students going to the job market on how to clarify career interests, build a resume, and organize a job hunt.

"Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands."
