This week in 511 we had two School Librarians from Syracuse area schools visit the class. I considered being a school librarian but then decided it wasn’t for me. I liked helping children, in fact much of my volunteering at libraries has been with children, but I think helping the entire range of people would be more for me. I don’t know if I could handle the school lifestyle like many of my friends can. I do find it interesting that the first thing I wanted to do as a kid was be a teacher and I avoided going into education because of my fear of public speaking, and I keep finding ways to get back to it despite myself.
One of the guests was talking about her iStaff, which consisted of student hires, and it got me reminiscing about my days as a library aide in High School at LFHS. Which got me reminiscing about my days volunteering at Treat Memorial Library. Which got me wondering: Why the hell did it take me until my last year of undergrad to figure out I wanted to be a librarian? I mean, I still would have done the whole creative writing program, doubt of that will never crossed my mind, but I could have planned this out so much better.
