Strength-based advising is an approach used to identify strengths that students have, and apply those strength to formulate short and long-term college and career goals. Strength-based advising allows the student to focus more on their skills and abilities that can help them progress, rather than dwell on past weaknesses that they may have encountered. This advising approach is a new adaptation to higher education advising and is similar to strength-based approaches used in social work, business, and psychology. (Schreiner & Anderson, 2005)

Attending Edmonds Community College for the last two years of my high school career was liberating. The Running Start program enabled me to take control over my education and I was eager to jump headfirst into the college environment. At the college I was able to learn at a quicker pace, relying less on others and more on my own abilities. My academic success became entirely dependent on my eagerness to learn and willingness to work hard. As a full-time Running Start student, I was able to hand-select courses that both challenged me and pertained to my academic interests. Unlike my high school, the community college offered a variety of course subjects, enabling me to cast a wider net into the academic pool.

After the first semester of freshman year at Bentley University, students take a Career Development Seminar, which begins by taking a survey about strengths. Out of 34 strengths, the test lists the top 5 strengths for each person. Bentley students typically share the same type of strengths, such as Analytical, Focus, Maximizer, Strategic, and Woo. However, when I received my results, I felt like the elephant in the room. While most people received Competitive and Achiever as their top two strengths, mine came back as Relator and Empathy. As awkward as it was to explain to my teacher that my results were atypical, this moment lit a light bulb inside of my head. During my first semester, I struggled with my business courses, and none of the material seemed to pique my interest. At first, I wrote this off as a transition period and a time where I just needed to adjust to the college lifestyle while away from home and on my own. As time went on, this idea began to turn into serious doubt about whether the corporate business world was for me. The only problem was that Bentley is known for its business programs; in fact, out of 24 majors

With my large service background, I hadn't done any community service since this past summer with the STEP Program. Coincidently, earlier this semester I unintentionally enrolled into a community based service class. I then would have to select a nonprofit organization to do fifteen hours of service and later create a service project. Reviewing the organizations I had to choose between, I was not overly enthused as none of the organizations called out to me and I would have to do a lot of work with them. My choices narrowed because of my schedule, availability, locations, and other various conditions. Having to determine which service cause was the lesser of the two evils based off of my personal interests. I found myself choosing to work with

After a student has achieved in the meritocracy of public school, there is no direct track into college. High school is the highest level of compulsory schooling and anything beyond that is optional and left for the student to navigate. The college application process is a complicated and involved one. Students must often collect recommendation letters, craft well-written essays, and complete financial aid or scholarship applications among many other requirements (Gaztambide-Fernández 2009: 205). As Gaztambide-Fernández writes, the application process is elaborate and students often need help from college counseling offices in high schools or from parents (2009: 204-205). For example, the student’s written about in The Best of the Best were
