I have no idea why someone bullied you for this post. Your story is beautiful, and from what I can tell, it sounds honest. I'm glad you're doing better now. I hope you do get to talk with Mr. Englerth again so that he can know how much he means to you. That'll probably mean the world to a guy who cares about his job like him.

Hey, dude. You commented on my review. Thanks for giving yoru honest opinion. Really, I wasn't trying to say anything misleading, but if you felt that way, I apologize. That wasn't my intent. I was just trying to share my perspective because I got exasperated at people constantly flaming him on this site. Obviously, I think he's a great guy, and he does way more for kids than most other guidance counselors. That's all I was trying to share. If you got something else out of my review, I'm sorry, no cap. If you want to share what upset you, I want to hear it.

Oh fr he's the best, but I'm a little confused, what did the person say wrong? No hate, genuinely curious.

There's so much vitriol on this site, so let me share something positive. I had Mr. Englerth, and I was going through an extremely difficult, complex situation outside of school. As a result, I went from getting straight A-pluses--to scrambling just to pass all my classes. He tried his best to understand what I had to endure and how it harmed me. I cannot overstate that a lot of this was PERSONAL STUFF--not ANYTHING guidance counselors usually deal with. Moreover, he always appreciated the courage it took for me to share that with him. He was extremely supportive. He cared about me; he wanted me to heal, and he wanted me to get back on track academically. Honestly, he didn't always know how to help me do that, but he tried as hard as he possibly could. To reiterate, this was an incredibly complicated situation, so I couldn't have expected anyone to have the answers! I didn't even unpack everything until about six months ago. Any questionable decisions Mr. Englerth and I made are only regrettable in hindsight. Really, he tried. As hard as humanely possible. (Were this any less of a complex situation, his advice probably would have been spot on.) Mr. Englerth, if you see this, this is exactly who you think it is. I'm in a safe place now. Because of what happened in high school, I'm still working to transfer to what you might consider a good college--but I found a realistic track to do it, and a Plan B JUST in case it doesn't. Plan A is going smoothly though. :) Thank you for letting me spontaneously walk in your office to have a conversation whenever you could be available. Your honesty, selflessness, and unwavering willingness to listen were WELL beyond your job description. It's unfortunate you only knew me when I was suffering so much though. I hope one day, we can catch up, and you'll get to see a stronger version of me. Until then, keep being empathetic; keep offering your honest insight, and keep being yourself. You matter more than you realize.
