The dictionary defines conscious as being fully aware of or sensitive to something. Another synonym for conscious is cognizant. All three words mean to have an individual sense of recognition within or without oneself. Awareness implies sense perception; cognizance refers to a a level of recognition more on the level of reason or knowledge.
For me, having consciousness in counseling student's means being aware of each child and their needs, and ready and willing to respond to all levels of need, be it academic, emotional, mental, material, or spiritual. American children are born into a competitive world, and often confronted with a host of issues. The school counselor is in the unique position of being equipped to address those needs and advocate for the child so that they may continue to achieve and succeed.
