Problem: There are many considerations in the case of Bianca. Because she struggles with anxiety, it is important to begin our post-secondary planning process with this in mind. Utilizing the ASCA Mindset & Behavior standard B-SMS 2 Demonstrate self-discipline and self-control, and B-SMS 7 Demonstrate effective coping skills when faced with anxiety. As her counselor, I would work with Bianca's social worker to ensure that she is working on coping mechanisms surrounding her testing anxiety. I would also be able to provide additional support for Bianca by writing a recommendation letter that highlights her perfect attendance, resilience, and outstanding work habits. It would be beneficial for Bianca to break down her college application process into chunks, such as writing one essay per week, to ensure she does not become overwhelmed. Once Bianca narrows down her choice, it would be advantageous to schedule interviews with each school to inquire about extended testing time and the university providing quiet, smaller spaces for those with testing anxiety. ASCA Mindset & Behavior standard B-SS 1 Self-efficacy in belief to succeed, and B-LS 7 Identify long and short-term goals are appropriate in the case of Bianca. Providing her with tools such as the College Board's Big Future (Plan for Life after High School - BigFuture | College Board, 2025). Need Assignment Help?
