About The Counselor

My name is Stephanie Jones and I am the Bales Intermediate School
Guidance Counselor.  I have a Bachelors Degree in
Elementary Education and a Masters Degree in School Counseling.  I have worked
in the educational field for 22 years.  I moved here from Miami, 
Oklahoma in 1989 to begin my career as an elementary teacher.  After being a
classroom teacher for 10 years, I accepted a position as an educational peer
facilitator.  I am entering my 7th year as a school counselor.  I am happily
married to one of my best friends and we have one beautiful daughter.  In my
spare time I enjoy traveling, playing golf, shopping and reading.



QUOTATIONS

Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there; they cause change. 
They motivate and inspire others to go in the right direction, and they, along with everyone else, 
sacrifice to get there. 
— John Kotter


Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening 
because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get 
better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better. 
— King Whitney, Jr.
 

Success comes in cans. Failure comes in can'ts.


If good ethics always was good business, only stupid people would be unethical. The ugly truth is 
that sometimes ethical people los and unethical people win. That's why success is not a reliable 
measure of virtue.


You can dodge your responsibilities, but you can't dodge the consequences of dodging your 
responsibilities.


Good decisions are good decisions.


When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. 
— Victor Frankl
