1. What are some of the things you believe that the counselor has learned from Steve? What are some of the counselor’s behaviors that may change as a result of working with Steve? Do you think that most people you come into contact with change you in some way? Explain.

Sometimes we are told that we cannot do something. Most of us sit back and listen. There are a few people that don’t. In Steve’s case, he was told he was not going to be able to walk, talk, or read. He managed to prove everyone wrong. He returned to school following his dream as it was never crumbled by an almost fatal attack from a stranger. At the time the counselor met Steve, he was beginning to understand his career. He knew the responsibilities it came with but was never too used to telling people to do something they felt out of their comfort zone. The things I believe that the counselor has learned from Steve were struggling with the fear of being a new student on campus and that could be the result of his problem. He assumes automatically that Steve’s problem stems from the fear of being a new student in campus though the problems are actually based on a larger scale (Woodside, 2011). The counselor, I believe, has learn a couple of things from Steve like the fact that, a counselor cannot be a travel guide on such deeply personal journeys such as Steve’s, he can only serve as a special travel companion who is willing to understand and respect the process of walking along sacred life path (Woodside, 2011).
