My Intermediate Academic Reading and Writing students wrote a report on personal counseling at the Student Health Center after Felicia King, a counselor, came to talk at my invitation. (I met her when I was interviewing Sunny Clark.) The students were to summarize her talk and give a personal response, but only a few really did. This one was the most engaging and represents a situation a lot of young immigrants have--but usually for their parents rather than a younger sibling:
I am interested in personal counseling because I am in trouble that it is homesick. I live with my brother who is 19 years old and he can't speak English well. He always needs my help everywhere he goes. I am not his parent, but I have to take care of him as a parent. I suffered from his helping because I need to do my homework or I want to hang out with my friend, but when he calls me I stop everything and I go to home for him. I want to see a counselor and I need a therapy or I need good advice about my situation from them. I beleive that they will give me a good advice.
