<div>Hello everyone, my name is Luis Ecute, and I am an educator/grad student preparing to enter my second and final year of my Master's in School Counseling at California State University, Dominguez Hills.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To complete my graduate program and receive my PPS credential, the license that allows me to work as a school counselor, I must complete <strong>900 hours of service in K-12</strong>. Having already completed 100 hours the previous semester, I will be wrapping up the final 800 hours this upcoming school year, in addition to a full course load. Due to these requirements limiting my availability to work, I cannot ignore the <strong>financial strain</strong> that the academic year will put on me. In mid-August, I will need to step away from my position with GEAR UP 4 LA to focus on my studies/internship. If you are <strong>inclined and willing</strong> to financially support my journey to becoming a high school counselor by <strong>donating</strong> or <strong>sharing</strong> this post, I would be very grateful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Working for GEAR UP for the past 4 years has cemented my pursuit of becoming a school counselor. Through this experience, I have had the pleasure of working at a high school in South Gate, California, where I supported over <strong>1,000+ students</strong> to successfully <strong>graduate high school</strong>, supported their tedious and exhausting <strong>college and financial aid applications</strong>, and <strong>built positive relationships and communities </strong>with school staff, students, and parents. I love the work I do, and I rarely stop to consider the <strong>impact</strong> I am already creating in my communities, so I humbly asked former students to share a story, a moment, or an interaction on how I was able to support them in high school. Linked below is a series of student testimonies I gathered from them. I hope you can support me by <strong>donating</strong>, <strong>sharing</strong>, or reading a few of their experiences with the counselor you will be <strong>investing</strong> <strong>in</strong>! Help me continue making a lasting impact in our schools and communities.
