In the Journal An Overview Of Strategies to Reduce School Violence, the author states that “Youth violence had once been thought to be an urban public school problem and a consequence of poverty and family dysfunction, however now stable suburban and rural communities are also experiencing it, as are private schools” (Schwartz, 1996, p. 1). Therefore, it has been important for school officials, the community, and the government to developing and putting into action many promising types of anti-violence strategies, focusing on both discipline and social and personal transformation. It has also been an issue to educate teachers and school counselors on how to deal and help these violent students full of anger frustration.

As a professional counselor I need to learn more the language and practice it because I will be dealing with different children belonging to different races and cultural backgrounds. It is important to acquire more skills and knowledge because times are always changing and with them the children and the way they think. I must also learn about the different cultures and their customs and belief to further understand how they think and why they behave as they do. I want to create strong working relationships with the students parents because in my opinion they are a very important piece and influence in the child’s formation and life. The strengths that will help me to become better at my job and be able to help my students succeed and learn from me. Most important I love what I have chosen to do professionally and I am dedicated to helping these students and guiding them in any way they need to succeed. As a student myself , for many years there was no adequate guidance for me and therefore, I have had to struggle long and hard to accomplish my goals and objectives. I can make it a more easy and informative road for them. It is also an advantage that I like to ask questions to other professionals and work together with others to get the most resources and assistance possible to help the children in the different levels and areas of their education and personal development.
