A Guidance Counselor’s Hysterical Reality Check for This Student

A guidance counselor gave this student a reality check that was at once hysterical and humbling. The student likely did not see this response coming from his guidance counselor. Watch the short, laugh-out-loud funny clip to see what the student said that had the school official react in a very unexpected manner.

Graduating from high school is a significant accomplishment. However, for most people, that is not the end of their educational journey. Bettering themselves through some form of continued learning is usually the course of action most students choose after earning their high school diploma. Typically, that means going to college or a trade school.

However, being 17 or 18 and trying to make such a big decision can be overwhelming. That is why high schools employ guidance counselors who help students figure out what to do after graduation. This can and does make that task a little less daunting and overwhelming. Guidance counselors offer support and assistance throughout the process.

In a comedy skit posted on YouTube, a guidance counselor was anything but helpful. Instead, she had a most unusual reaction when the student mentioned his plan of action after leaving high school. Even if guidance counselors don’t think they have the ability to achieve what they say, they have to hide their disbelief a little bit better than this particular guidance counselor did.

After the student sits down, he states that he hopes to attend a very prestigious university - Brown or Johns Hopkins. Almost immediately, the guidance counselor tries to steer him away from that course of action. Instead, she comes up with other ideas.

“How about, maybe something different for you,” the guidance counselor says to the young man.

She then suggests a six-week screenwriting program or even subscribing to the Masterclass online classes.  The student is not on board with her ideas, and is obviously taken aback by her humbling suggestions, and her saying that she doesn’t see college as being for him.

Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
