Counseling Plan
Student: Billy Bob Joe Ray, Esq.
Grade: 11
th

Source of Referral: Parents
Reason for Referral: Parents called school counselor concerned about Billy Bobs future.
Unfortunately, Billy Bob is underachieving and is failing most of his core classes. He fails to
complete the majority of his assignments and does not spend much time on school commitments
outside of football. Billy Bob is an All-American center for the football team and local colleges
have expressed interest in providing him a scholarship. The colleges will not offer him a
scholarship without a minimum 2.5 G.P.A. His current G.P.A. is 1.85. He will not be able to play
football for the high school next year without a 2.0. Furthermore, Billy Bob does not have any
career interests other than football. His parents are selling the family farm after he graduates so
Billy Bob would not have farming as a post-graduation option. They want him to develop more
future options and realize the danger of relying on a career in football that presents a small
likelihood of attainment.
Goal: Billy Bob will work toward raising G.P.A. to 2.5 and increase academic commitment. He
will learn more about his interests, skills, and opportunities available besides football.
