“What kind of people do you need in your life, at school, to be successful?” I asked. “Like, what would your ideal counselor look like?” “I just need somebody that is not there just to listen, but who actually feels me . . . who knows where I’m coming from and really understands. . . . Like, ‘Oh, you been a prostitute, I feel you’ . . . somebody like that. . . . Somebody that’s going to be there when I need them, like . . . three times a week, four times a week. Like when I feel bad and stuff.”
