I am interested in seeking mandatory educational counseling services for students in public elementary and middle schools that primarily cater to students living in low-income neighborhoods. These students often receive little support and encouragement to continue their education from their parents and are economically disadvantaged. Because such conditions deny these students a healthy academic environment at home, these kids would benefit from the counseling programs that would provide them with a place to complete their schoolwork, seek academic help, and participate in extracurricular activities in a safe environment. These children are the future of our country, and it is our responsibility, as citizens of the United States, to ensure that they rise up to their full potential.
