    >This week, we celebrate Eun Chung, Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). Eun
    took some time to explain what has motivated her to become a school-based
    MFT and to offer advice for those just starting out.</span

    ><strong>Why did you become an MFT?</strong></span

    >I have always wanted to work with kids. Once I got into counseling, I
    quickly realized that one of the most effective ways to work with children
    is to work with the whole family. This drew me to marriage and family
    therapy, which at its core, I believe, is all about promoting healthy
    relationships and helping kids to grow up to be healthy adults.</span

    >I love that I can be independent in my work AND be part of a team at the
    same time. The support that I receive from the counseling department as well
    as from the office allows me to fully focus on what I do best and love
    doing.</span

  <span style="font-size:18px"
    >I love that every school is so different! It has been such a rich
    experience for me as a counselor to work with a very diverse student
    population (academically, socioeconomically, culturally). Every school that
    I get to experience provides me with opportunities that help me grow not
    only as a professional but as a person.</span

    >I believe the most powerful and meaningful counseling flows out of who you
    are. So, I would encourage new counselors to keep on becoming the person
    that you are teaching your students to be. Take time to do some personal
    reflection as you go. Adjust. And repeat!</span
