A woman shared how she got her own back on the guidance counselor who said she wasn’t university material,
Sweet Revenge
The woman began by saying, “I know it doesn’t sound much like revenge. But it was oh so sweet, let me tell you.”
Family Life
She didn’t have a good home life. Her step-dad adopted her, then ignored her most of the time. Her mom was too wrapped up in making his life perfect.
Struggled in High School
School was a difficult time for her, and she had a lot of anxiety and a hard time focusing. She said, “I attended all my classes, and was always doing very well on my assignments, but had trouble completing them.”
The Guidance Counselor
She described her guidance counselor as been the same all through high school. Every year would start with a meeting with her. “I would explain I needed more help because I was struggling to focus,” she said.
Brushed Off
She felt like she was being brushed off every time, with the counselor stating that she obviously wasn’t trying hard enough. The guidance counselor said, “You have no excuse, as your stepdad is a social worker for the school board.” He was also a personal friend of hers.
Last Meeting
The woman described the obligatory meeting at the end of high school. She was meant to discuss which colleges/universities or trade schools to apply to. She said, “I told her I was interested in psychology and would like to be a counselor or to teach psychology.”
Not University Material
This counselor scoffed at her. She said, “Please do not apply to university because it would be a huge disappointment for you. You are not university material, and you may be better with a community college or even a certificate in administration.”
Not Smart Enough
The woman stressed that there is nothing wrong with going to community college or getting a certificate in something. However, the counselor’s words made her feel like she wasn’t smart enough to pursue her chosen career.
Years Later
Several years later, the woman was in her late 20s. She had worked in several small jobs, and became very depressed. She finally decided to apply for university.
Graduated
She said, “Well, I got in and I graduated with honors. So I went to teachers’ college for another bachelor’s degree. After graduating with honors again, I finally finished my master’s in behavioral psychology.”
Stepdad Died
Then her stepdad died, and the guidance counselor turned up to the visitation. She quickly decided how she was going to handle the situation.
I Don’t Remember You
The woman said, “She came right over and started talking to me immediately like she knew me, like we’re old friends. I cut her off and told her she must be confusing me with someone else.”
Shocked
The counselor looked shocked and said, “I was your guidance counselor for 4 years.” The woman shook her head and gave the best blank expression she could manage, shrugged and said, “Sorry, I honestly don’t remember you.”
Confused
She said, “When I left, she looked a bit confused and disappointed. I think she had hoped for me to have all of these good memories of her, and how helpful she was to me as a teen. But I wanted her to feel like she had zero effect on me.”
Felt Good
She shared that she felt pretty good about that. It felt like a small victory after how horrible the counselor made her feel, even after high school.
Teaching
She went on to announce that she now teaches psychology to future counselors. So, she is doing what she originally wanted.
Bragging Mom
The woman added that her mom had run into the guidance counselor a few times at the grocery store before this, and bragged about her accomplishments. Since she already knew, pretending the counselor was nobody to her ensured that none of this success was thanks to her.
Did The Counselor Help?
Several people suggested that the guidance counselor helped me in the end and was right. The woman disagreed, saying she asked for help for 4 years and got nothing.
Self-Motivated
She finished by saying, “I motivated and helped myself. How dare anyone try to diminish my hard work by saying this woman who failed me was helping. Bullies aren’t motivational tools, they’re just tools.”
