Thanks for writing about your concern. Yes, I think
counseling might be helpful for you. You know that you are not
"motivated" to focus on school, but this awareness has done
nothing to change your behavior or your inner sense of what is troubling
you. I agree that it is also important to get things on track soon or
there will be more serious consequences. Many students try several
different ways to understand and solve their problems before seeking
counseling. While you haven't said so directly, I am assuming from your
description of your struggle that you have tried to help yourself and so
far have been unable to do so. In light of this frustration, it would
seem prudent to take the next step, which is to consider counseling.
CSDC offers two services that might be helpful. One is coaching for
academic success, which may help if the problem you are having seems to
be caused by needing better study skills as you approach more advanced
courses. The second is personal counseling where you can get support
from a concerned and competent therapist who will devote his or her full
attention to helping you solve this problem.
Come by the Counseling and Student Development Center in the Campus Life Building, Room 200, anytime between 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM M-F, and you can talk to a counselor who can help you decide what services would be most useful in your specific situation. Good luck, and we hope to see you soon. Sincerely, Barb Wired |
