I am an adjustment counselor at an alternative school in Springfield. My student population consists of children who have been either adjudicated, expelled from other schools, or somehow affiliated with the social service agencies. I was just giving Jimbo a sample of one of my daily counseling sessions. Some of the stuff I deal with is really heart-breaking. I've lost three students in as many years (that I was very close to) to gun shot wounds. However, I have seen a multitude of kids turn there lives in a positive direction. Being an influential figure in this process is one of the most intrinsicly rewarding experiences one can imagine.
