School Counselor Appreciation Stories

-Mr. Ebert helped me talk about and talk through the passing away of my father. He also helped me meet other students who have similar situations to mine.

-Mrs Samit has always been an amazing advocate for my daughter. My daughter went through a difficult time at the beginning of this school year and due to Mrs Samit's support and also the relationship she has taken the time to form with my child over the last 3 years, it helped to make things, regarding school, so much easier for my daughter. We were even considering putting our daughter in private school, but it was due to the support and guidance offered my Mrs Samit, that we chose to stay. We could not hope for a better support system at another school than what we have found at Wiss thanks to Mrs Samit. Whenever myself or my daughter has a question or a concern, she knows she can turn to Mrs Samit for help and support, and that means so much. Now that we are starting to look at colleges my daughter relies on Mrs. Samit's help and opinion, and we trust in her deeply to give great advice. She has taken the time to know my kids. She is also my son's counselor this year as well, he is a Freshman, and she has already been a huge asset with helping to keep him on track in school too. She takes the time, she forms the relationships and she really cares. And it matters. She takes their opinion into account and stands beside the students to help them achieve their goals. We Love Mrs Samit and can not say enough good things! She has made a difference for our kids!

-Mrs. Anderson has helped me throughout the entire college journey. Over the summer, I had no idea how to even begin the process, write an essay or supplement, or find financial aid information. Mrs. Anderson helped me every step of the way, and we met once a week to talk about updates and discuss my options. Even in this crazy time, she was so supportive, and gave great advice! I wouldn't have been able to do it without her!

-Mrs. Diebolt has gone above and beyond to make my high school experience as seamless as can be. From last minute requests, to worries about my schedule, or even if I ever just needed someone to talk to, Mrs. Diebolt has always been most helpful. Mrs. Diebolt creates a safe environment within Wissahickon High School, and I always feel safe and at peace when I talk to her. I have gotten the pleasure to work with her often through the Ambassadors Club, where she works hard as an adviser, to make my job as an officer easier. Overall, transitioning into high school can be difficult, but Mrs. Diebolt not only communicated with me to make sure that I was comfortable in the transition, but has kept that communication throughout my high school career. She always checks in on me, and I feel secure with knowing that I have someone who is always looking out for me in school.

-How do you properly say thank you to someone you never expected to need? I honestly thought I would never have much reason to speak to Mr. Ebert throughout my child's middle school years.

He has always remained respectful and courteous. He has set an excellent example for my child and gone above and beyond to help. I am grateful that he has been a part of my child's life.

-Mrs. Perrotta has always been quick to respond to questions and to help when I ask. Also, she was very helpful when my son was falling behind in his classes. She met with him and us to give recommendations on how he could be more organized and where he could get help for his schoolwork.

She never wants me to give up and only allow me to continue on the right path. She allowed me to start my high school education and future career on the right foot. I appreciate all of her efforts and love! Also, she always had her room open for me to stop by and rant/complain about my life. Thank you so much Mrs. Glover!
