Librarians

Assignment 2: Libraries

The job for librarians seems simple, but it's probably more complicated then we think it is. Librarians need to know what they're doing in the library: which means knowing how to find certain things, the ability to speak to people, and knowing what they're talking about. Librarians have the ability to help people whenever they need it the most when they have to find something. Many librarians are pretty cool as they are. Each has their own personality that makes going to their library fun.  I don’t think that I could tell every librarian that they all have to do the same thing. Every librarian is so unique. What I like someone else may not like so I couldn’t say what would be cool for every librarian to do. The library of the future will hopefully be pretty amazing. Many people believe that the libraries will disappear because everything is becoming accessible over the computer. But I believe that libraries will be around for a while. We may not use books but they’ll always be remembered. The books themselves may or may not become little things that you can access over the computer on a tablet or something equally as awesome as that. Libraries will always keep up with whatever the times are going through even if it takes a little longer than the rest of the world.

My Uncertain Future

It’s hard to decide what I want to do in the future; there are so many amazing options. I would like to be a nurse—that would be amazing, just to be able to help someone—but then I realize that there are so many paths for just one thing. Each path sounds as amazing as the before it and after it it’s hard to narrow it down. But then something else may snatch my attention like being an anthropologist. I’m honestly scared though about my future. I know that a student in college may change their mind on their major multiple times, but I can barely narrow it down now. In a way it’s almost scary. But regardless of what I pick in the end whether it’s some doctor or nurse or something entirely different, I just want to help the people around me; whether its healing a life threatening wound, give a kid a shot, or finding out how the people have evolved over time and how it has helped us a as people. Everything that a person can possibly take in college can help others. Maybe my reasons are too broad or maybe my need to help people just isn’t picky.

As of right now I don’t have any goals that need any help. But the one thing the Pre-Collegiate program will help me do is decide whether or not I want to do anything in the medical field. One future goal may be to tell me what classes I excel in and the ones that just aren’t for me. By knowing these, maybe just maybe I’ll be able to know what I want to do.
