Hi,

Truly,

Hi everyone,
I am a Mercy College student attempting to achieve a Mental Health/Counseling degree simply because I am a driven individual with a huge passion to help others overcome their stumbling blocks in the physical realm, or any psychological aspect, that may need professional attention. I was raised by a Christian mother who taught me good principles about humanity, my fellow man, and my responsibility for those in need of help. I was raised in a poor community where neighbors get to share almost everything as an act of loving care for the next person. Although I have experienced difficulties during my own personal development, my mother's teaching never departed from my personality. After a few years away from school I decided to come back to finish my dreamed degree.
In reference to areas of interest within my academical journey, psychology has always been my passion. In all reality, my plans were to go for a Psychology degree, and after a thorough investigation I found out that with a Counseling degree in Mental Health, I can serve within my communities, in the same manner I would with a Psychology degree. Simply, I love been there for others when, they most need an attentive ear, and an emphatic approach with a non-judgmental attitude. Why do I feel the need to help others is attached to my personal experience during times of needing an "open ear." Although I feel very optimistic about achieving my goal, after passing my first level in the counseling program, I have experienced that it takes a lot of work, with a lot of material to read/learn from, and assignments to do.
To conclude, taking and passing the CPCE is a very important step towards achieving my goal. Although I decided and made a little change in my journey and goal, it was necessary due to the fact that as an adult student taking the shorter route works for me well at this present time. Helping others became a learned behavior and guided me to make the choice to come to school to become a certified helper. Although having witnessed that to achieve a degree in counseling takes a lot of work, the challenge has made me stronger and wiser. The CPCE was offered during a busy semester and found it hard to keep up with the study schedule. I would try my best to stay up to date with every study material for when the exam date may come, i will be ready for it.
Well, I hope I pass the CPCE exam. Thank you.
Truly,
Carlos Torres

Hi everyone,
My name is Carlos A. Torres, and I am an adult student attempting to achieve a counseling/mental health degree, which is necessary to professionally exercise what I enjoy doing the most, which helping others.
Each individual's career development may take different paths, and sometimes this occupational quest may help the individual in matching own personality, and concept with the proper career. This concept has molded my focus and serves as a guide that strengthen own commitment and desires to go on. The counseling program has become my first priority and I know that within the TRIAD community I will find the proper support to grow and ace the ECPC. :)
As a novice student, I have learned basic things about the process of the client's helper therapeutic relationship, and other areas such as been a reflective practitioner, evidence-based practitioner, and client-centered helper, but I'm still missing "tools in hand" practice. This present status will evolve in due time, as I progress through the stages established by the counseling department. I am confident that I will find the appropriate tools and necessary help enough to pass the exam, when the time comes.
In general, I want to say thank you in advance to everyone within the TRIAD community, and that I feel welcome. As a counseling student interested in passing the exam, I will play my role and will benefit from my participation, as well as from other's input. In summary, I am here to learn and achieve the proper skills necessary that would assist me in passing the exam. Thank you all in advance.
Respectfully submitted,
Carlos A. Torres
