Guidance and Counseling are concepts that have existed as far back

as the beginning of society. Guidance is an integral part of education offering

assistance to students so that they would make intelligent decisions and
adjustments in life.
In the book, says that the world seems to be confused world. Conditions in
the home, the school and the community have changed because of the rapid
advancement in science and technology. The effects of this advancement have
made impact on the lives of the youth and have led them to confusion. Media have
affected the attitudes of the youth towards themselves and their environment. Many
critical situations occur in their lives in which important and far reaching decisions
must be made. It is extremely necessary that some adequate help be provided to
the youth in order that they can make wise decisions towards their innate desire
for self-direction and self-actualization. The youth should understand that they
need not grope in the dark whenever they are confused. They can seek for the
assistance from teachers, guidance counselors and other student personnel services
providers to make intelligent moves as they catch new values, acquire learning styles,
and eventually arrive at a better understanding of themselves to relate well at home,
in the school, or even in the community.

The above information was the reason why we have to come up with a
counseling service.
Our instructor in the subject Guidance and Counseling, Mr. Samuel Comia
gave us task which is the counseling service to the first year student. He assigned
two person for me to counsel. This two person were James Alvaro Tejada and
Anabel De Guzman. Sir Comia didnt gave us contact number even
their section so that I really wonder how I can find them in the campus.
Aside from we are busy in our subjects, those students are busy too.
Every time I look for them, their classmates said that they are on their practice
of the cheer dance. I think for another option, I search them in Facebook and
sent them a friend request and luckily they accept me quickly. I message them.
I introduce myself to them and ask for their numbers. Every time I have vacant
I text them and ask if they are vacant too. But sadly not. We have conflict
schedule of classes.

One day, on our break time I go outside TLE shop to use

that time to find my counselees. I ask every first year student I have
seen if they know who is James Tejada and Anabel De Guzman and luckily
the person who I ask to is the person Ive looking for, that was Anabel De
Guzman. I introduce myself personally and a little bit conversation. I also ask
her in what section she was and she said that she was on BEED- 1102. I said
that we will be having meeting for me to know her deeply and she said yes.
She has an innocent eyes as my perception on her. I think she was kind and
loving daughter/sister for family.
Our formal meeting happened on September 28, 2015, Monday inside
the TLE shop. I make it easy for her. The days before I counsel her I always texted
her for her to feel that I want her to be close to me for us to be easy when the
time comes that we will meet. And yet it was happened. I find it easy for me to
start conversation to her. I first introduce myself to her again like the last time
I did when we first met. When I was done I ask her for some questions and she
answered that all.
Her full name was Anabel Tobeo
De
Guzman. Daughter of Mrs.
Potenciana Tobeo
De Guzman and Mr. Angel De
Guzman. She
was born on July 25, 1998 at
Putting Kahoy,
Rosario, Batangas, this was also
their address.
She was a 17 year old freshmen,
BEED-1102.
She was came from a large family
like me.
They were eleven (11) children in
the family;
5 boys and 6 girls and she was the last child
or the eleventh child. Her hobby was
watching TV and sleeping. She was a
friendly person thats why it was not hard
for her to adjust to the new environment
she have in college. She said that she was a Mamas Girl. She was closed
in her mother compare to his father. One of the reason why she was not
closed to her father is her father was strict. She was afraid to him.

Aside from that she have lots of time spending with her mother.
When I ask her for the problems she had encountered, she said none
maybe she had but then I think it was
not that big as others have. She can
manage it by her own and with the
support of her family. I didnt force her
to share. Her innocent eyes and her

face

who is always smile made me think

that

she didnt encounter problems that is

big. But then, I said to her that we do

not

have to be angry to our parents if they

are that strict to us, it doesnt mean
they did not want us to decide for
ourselves but to lead us in a good way.

also said to her that if she needs

person

who can talk to, she is free to text me. I end up our conversation with a picture taking.
