Basic Helping Skills Class?? ⛔👀

"What kind of course is this? Why should I take this course? Like, really??" 

That is my first thought when i looked at my subjects list for this semester. I was like do counselor need to learn and know this kind of subject?😅 As i know counselor only give an advice to problematic people. If not an advice that counselor will scold and humiliate that person before he/she know what kind of problem that client had. I also thought counselor job is easy and have a lot of free time. Other than that, I always imagine counselor only work at school setting only. Other setting doesn't need this kind of job since counselor job is to solve students behavior and give an advice on how to overcome their bad attitude. 💢

When I entered BHS class for the first time, I become in secured to myself because my first choice was to be a psychologist not a counselor. I had inner conflict with myself since this is not I want but I have to overcome that problem so, I convince myself to go with the flow. Maybe this is my opportunity to learn more about counselling and gain new knowledge from this course. I hope this course will help to widen my thought about "what is counselling all about?" 

My other problem is I'm an introverted person. I had a difficult situation when I arrived at UNIMAS. This is because I  really bad on how to approach and build a new relationship with people. I tend to closed myself before other people can approach me first. This personality also make me to observe people behavior first, then I would decide how match that person with me. If not, I will adjust my character to match with that person. BUT when I feel comfortable with someone, they will see my "real" behavior even myself doesn't realize since when my character goes like that. 💁💬
