Thoughts about librarian's

The most important job of a librarian is to be a helpful hand to a student, a teacher, an educator, or anyone looking for ways to further their knowledge about a certain criteria. Librarians help people find information so they can use it for a professional or personal purpose. They also help people find things such as books, articles; DVD’s or find things on the internet. I think librarians should start to engage more with the people that need help with something I feel like now a days we are losing contact with librarians because they’re getting replaced with computers. For example if I take the Aurora Public Library for example if you need help trying to find a book you will search through the libraries computer and it will give you all the information that you need. Then once your ready to check out your book you do it by yourself through a computer.  We have lost the contact, we use to have with librarians I miss the days when I use to go up to them if I got lost and I had no idea what I was doing. I think that the future library would be taken over by computers and technology. There’s going to be less personal contact with people that work there. You will also be expected to do things and find things on your own. I also feel like since you can find everything you need on the internet you wouldn’t need to go to the library unless you needed a quite place to study. Most people are reading less and less each day but, if they do read then there are many technologies out there that makes it easier for them to do so without having to go to the library.

Future

       When I get to college I would love to major in biology with a minor in fashion. Since I was a child I have always dreamt of wearing a lab coat and helping save many lives. Every since I can remember that dream has been growing bigger and bigger. Now I am getting ready to graduate from high school and start my life once I get to college my focus is pre med. I want to graduate with a degree in biology because I hope to one day continue my dream and get in to medical school. I feel as though if I major in bio then I am one step closer to reaching my goal. Joining the pre-collegiate program was by far the best thing that I have ever done. It has helped me in so many ways; not only has it prepared me for college but it has also helped me figure out what I wanted to do in the medical field. When I first came in to the program I felt as though I was very confused about what I want to do with my life and where I want to go from here on out. Just by making it this far is a great thing because I have learned so much then what I thought I would. They have helped me with apply to colleges, write my essays, find a carrier path that I want to go in to. I still would have graduated from high school without the program but I feel as though with the program I have learned so much more and I feel like I am more prepared than ever to go out on my own and see what the world has to offer me and what I can offer the world
