I identified my next steps and a few actions I want to take before next week's session. I’m feeling motivated, about a 7/10. I look forward to next week.

I raised my hand in class for the first time to answer a question. I have a lot of questions about getting work, passports, joining the army, and playing soccer. I want something more than just school. I’ve applied for a job at a hotel, and I’m also trying to understand relationships and how to build them.

I don’t know much about leadership, and I didn’t see any need to change. Leadership is for people with titles and formal positions, and since I’m not in one, I don’t think I can lead." After discussing leadership concepts: "I’ve realized I can show leadership every day, even without a title. I’m taking responsibility for my own progress, not just waiting for others to guide me. I feel expanded and empowered now.

I’m feeling more positive and confident about my life. I’m no longer a child—I’ve matured and can take on multiple perspectives. I don’t get stuck anymore. I know I can find solutions. I’m more focused on what matters to me, and I’m making progress with my goals.

I see myself growing into someone who is charismatic, honest, diligent, intelligent, flexible, reliable, and responsible. I’m about 80% there, but I know I need more patience and perseverance to complete my journey.

I want to focus on getting ready for college and my career. I’ve already been accepted to a local community college, and I’m deciding between studying architecture or business.

My main goal is personal growth. We’ve been talking about having a growth mindset and practicing self-compassion as part of my journey.

I had two job interviews, and we talked about how balancing a job with school would affect my routine. I don’t really like school some days, but I do want to go to university, maybe for a psychology degree, so I can help people.

I’m not feeling well today, but I came to the session. My family might be moving in two months for better job opportunities, and I might not continue school if there’s no night school available. I want to be a doctor, so we talked about what it takes to get there.

I was sad last week because my coach didn’t play me, even though I made six goals! There are 15 girls on the team and only 10 spots, so I’m going to talk to the coach about what I need to do to earn my spot.

My grades are getting better because I’ve been more focused in class. I stopped sitting with friends, I ask more questions, and I’ve been completing my homework. Better grades are motivating me to work harder. I’m also using a journal to track my progress and studying every day for 30 minutes.

I’ve grown so much in the past few weeks. I feel confident, clear on what I want to accomplish, and empowered to overcome obstacles. I’ve expanded my self-awareness and maturity, and I’m staying focused on my path.

I’ve been practicing saying ‘no’ instead of always saying ‘yes’ to every request for my time. I’m also interested in a career in dentistry, so I’m hoping to get an opportunity to shadow a dentist or hygienist this summer.

I want to be a doctor, but I also want to improve my English. I’m working full-time, so I don’t have a lot of time to study.

I want to focus on acting as a career, so we talked about time management strategies and how I can explore my acting options.

I’m working on my resume and college applications, and we talked about some questions I have for my counselor. I’m also thinking about essay topics.
