Here, on behalf of the students in poverty-stricken areas, I hope that as a responsible counselor, you will pay more attention to these children. Maybe your intervention will affect their lives. At the same time, it should be warned that you should not prejudge these students with all kinds of negative labels. As you showed in your questions, you should trust them, encourage them and be strict with them. When I was in college, I was glad to have the director in charge, and I believe you can do it!

You can continue to ask questions, because I am such a person, I am such a person with them, and I can represent them!
