Librarians are AWESOME! :)

I think librarians are an important component to a library. Most people look over their jobs but not many people realize how important they really are. They help with all of the office work that needs to be done, such as filing, faxing and printing. Librarians are known for helping with books. They are needed for help finding certain books or introducing new ones. When you walk into a library, the first thing you see is how neatly sorted the books, magazines, movies and audio cd's are.I always like to think that librarians are nice enough to continue to organize everything the library has to keep people coming back. Not only do librarians just work around the library, they help people learn. Librarians are always sharing important knowledge with others about current events, research or things they know about writing and reading.
I think it would be really cool if librarians had a teleportal mind that could pull books straight from the shelf and automatically know the whole book front to back. They would have their own library in their minds.
Since technology is expanding so much these days, I think libraries are going to have a limited amount of librarians because of internet access. It's sad that people no longer want to research manually, we are more likely to rely on computers to do all of our work and research. Maybe one hundred years from now, instead of having paper and hard back books, all books will be on e-readers.

June 21, 2011

When I go to college, I hope to study International Business or because I like the business scene and I also love to travel. I am also interested in human resource management because I find office work extremely fun and I’m very organized. I would like to run meetings and conduct business with large companies around the world. I plan on going to Hawaii Pacific University or SDSU (San Diego State University). I want to have a minor in something that relates to travel or learning other languages. Since I already know Spanish, it would be to my advantage to learn French or Italian. I want to study abroad my junior year to countries like Germany, Italy, France, Costa Rica and Japan. I entered this program with the dream of becoming a psychologist or a pediatrician. I learned about pharmacy and nursing and thought about having those as a career as well but I soon realized I didn’t have a passion for it. Over the past couple of years, that dream has changed. I no longer want to study anything in the medical field. So far the pre-collegiate program is helping me expand my knowledge. And I am also benefiting because of the three English credits I will receive at the end of the five week program. Since I am no longer interested in the medical field, it's not helping as much as I would like. I have never taken Calculus so I am always learning something new in math class every day.
