Goal Statement
Throughout my life, I have always been looking for an opportunity to help other people in leading happier and healthier lives. As a resident in an area where individuals have been living with stress and depression, I have seen the need for a qualified professional counselor. The main motivation towards following a counseling course is to give back to a society that I owe much. The lack of a single professional counselor in my neighborhood has also pressured me since the experience around people who need counseling has not been allowing me peace of mind.
My life experience as a resident has helped me to familiarise with the lifestyle challenges that people in my neighborhood face day-in-day-out. Also, the feeling of witnessing parents who are struggling to bring up their children in the middle of a society that has deviated from moral standards has been a major issue of concern to me. I have had a feeling that my experiences will put me in a better position to understand the challenges and conflicts affecting my clients, and I will only be providing credible assistance. My background offers an advantage that I will be able to bond effectively with the community, and my clients will always like my services. I feel that I will be able to give better services if given a chance to pursue the course in clinical mental health counseling. A degree in clinical mental health counseling will go a long way in helping me to achieve my dreams.
Personal Qualities
In my opinion, I possess several skills that will be crucial in problem-solving and interpersonal relations for mental health. My diligence and care for other people promise a credible counseling career in counseling. I am also a selfless person who will put their problems in wait to help other people deal with their problems first. The experiences that I have been through have taught me that happiness only comes where the heart and mind have been subjected to peace for helping others. Also, my upbringing has taught me that the most important purpose in life is to leave an impact on the life of another person. Pursuing a course in mental health counseling will, therefore, help me to serve my community at a capacity that will deal with all sorts of problems affecting my clients.
After several considerations, I have decided that this institution is the best place for me. The quality of courses offered here has motivated me to seek for an opportunity to be among this great family. The desire to immerse myself deeply into the field of counseling has been the first motivation, and I could not find a better place to pursue my dreams. I have always been passionate about being associated with leaders, and getting an opportunity in this institution is the best thing that can happen in my journey to get an education.
I am looking forward to becoming a great counselor, a problem-solver, and a problem-preventer if given the opportunity. Thank you for considering me.
