Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
Loved to understand how things worked out, I was curious about everything.
Realized that Educational Psychology was the right choice; I could help "regular people" - everyone.
I got to know better Vocational Psychology and became aware of how I liked it.
I understood that I wanted contact with people, and wanted to study Psychology.
Was invited to integrate a Vocational Counseling program to help students from different ages.

Day to Day
I arrive to my work and go to the room I've scheduled the previous day. I prepare all the materials I need in order to help the student I'm going to see today. Then I make a quick review of the student's profile. Once the student arrives I start the counseling session. The counselor doesn't "guide", but it's more like someone that reflects what the student thinks, someone that helps put in perspective, and help in the search for clues. In a great day I end up feeling great because I see change!
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
Think about what you envision to do in the future... Do you see yourself helping others? Being in contact with people? That is the first "requirement". If so, would you like to study about human behavior? If yes, then you are in the right place. Educational Psychology is one specialization, and what I love about it is that it is a resource for all the life span, for all contexts, and can virtually help EVERYBODY. :)
