This is my community connection post!
During this project, I interviewed someone who’s job/profession is something I am interested in doing in the future, but who did I interview?

For my community connections project, I interviewed…
Ms. Mackay!
Ms. Mackay or Shellee Mackay is the current counsellor for Mary Hill Elementary, meaning it’s her job to make sure all the students at the school get along and are overall ok. Basically she does what any other counsellor would do except at a school and sometimes she gets to teach a class!

Ms. Mackay used to teach at the same school as my aunt, which made connecting with her a bit easier since we had some common ground threw my aunt. I also plan on pursuing physiology in university/collage in hope of being able to get a job as some kind of counsellor or therapist.

Because the interviewee was kind enough to record and send me the audio of our interview and allow me to use it, I will present this by writing the questions and then putting up her audio answer.
Q: Why are you passionate about your job?
Q: What obstacles have you faced to get you where you are today?
Q: What advice would you pass on to someone interested in what you are doing
Q: Would you be open to further contact from Riverside students and if so, how can someone contact you?
Q: What’s the best part about counselling?
Q: If you could change something about your job, what would you change?

Through this connection I learned a couple of things I hadn’t really noticed or thought of before, the first being that it really is a small world. I went to Mary Hill Elementary when I was in kindergartner all the way threw to grade 5 before moving on to middle school, and the fact that my aunt knows the new counselor at the elementary school I went to when I was little is really something. I also learned that counselling can be a sometimes hard, but usually rewarding job no matter if you’re doing it at a school, with a business or as a private profession. It was really nice to interview Ms. Mackay since she is so nice and also gave me some more incite into what counselling is like and what trying to get into it is like.
