Motivation Is What Matters. My Research Proposal

This has been most apparent through my work to obtain my education certification. In conjunction with this certification, I had the opportunity to work with a middle school aged student in a one-on-one tutoring situation.

Because I am motivated by a genuine love for the subject and a desire to help others, I believe I will make an excellent school counselor.
