A Dream Come True

Since moving to Massachusetts, I made sure that I would continue to volunteer at my local library. I've now been volunteering at my local library for 7 months. I've dreamt of becomming a librarian for a couple years, and I've even requested some college information about degrees in Library Science and all that fun stuff. At my new library everyone has a Sub-professional librarianship degree, which states that you are a librarian without an M. L.S., to get your Sub-professional librarianship degree, you have to work/voulnteer at a library for 6 months. Once I hit that 6 months point, I filled out an application and sent it into the Board of Library Commissioners. It took a couple weeks, but I finially got an email saying that the board will review my application in their December board meeting. I couldn't wait, their board meeting was on the third, and I was leaving for a Boy Scout Trip on the 4th, and I hoped that I would know if I was a librarian or not by then, but as I closed out my email on the 4th, no such email came in letting me know. Mom did tell multiple times that they might not approve me because of my young age, I'm a teenager and there is a lot of age biasts out there. Once I was back home from camping, I check my email- - -Still no email from the MBLC (Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners), it wasn't untill yesterday, when I was helping mom unload the car with grocerys that I saw a manlia evenlope (big enough to fit a certificate in) laying upsidedown, being the nosy little teenager I am I flipped it over and it was addressed to me,

"Who would be sending me stuff in manila evenlopes?" I thought as I read the return address label, I screamed! I quickly, but gentily opened up the envelope and inside it was my certificate! I was soooo happy, I'm now offically a librarian.

So for all of you readers of this blog, if you have a dream go follow it, you never know what might happen.

And for all of thoes librarians out there- Hi!

I guess I had a dream come true, and now the bigger question is, do I want to become a librarian in the long-run- - -It would be a pretty cool job!
