"Go Ask Alice" Blog #4

Q: How will "Alice do in the mental hospital? How will her time there affect her wanting to become a counselor?

A:            After “Alice” is checked into the mental hospital, she is scared and doesn’t really want to be there. She at first doesn’t want to be social at all and thinks all the other kids are freaks. “Alice” thinks that she doesn’t belong there.

            I believe that her time in the mental hospital will cause her to become more open with people. In order for her to fully recover, she must talk about her previous and current problems.

            Dr. Miller encourages “Alice” to talk to other patients in order to prepare her in becoming a counselor. I believe that this will give her more courage and strength, knowing that other people also have problems. She no longer will feel like the only one.

            I think that “Alice’s” time in the mental hospital will make her change even more for the better. Feeding off of other people’s problems will cause her to grow as a person and make her even more prepared for her desire to become a counselor.
