so i've decided to change careers
it only took me 3 days of class to realize that i do not want to be a classroom teacher. the though of being in charge of 20-30 young children is not only terrifying but sounds like suicide. i also realized that my expectations of myself as a teacher are not realistic and i could never attain the love and care i would want to provide my students with. even though the state of california is telling everyone that this is how they should be. i know that i would beat myself up becuase i could never live up to those standards. what i want, i realized, is a more one-on-one relationship with my students. something very different than can be attained in the classroom.
so where does this leave me? this leaves me at library school. i have decided to finish my summer school class and just not add the other class i was planning on taking. in the fall i will apply to San Jose State University for a Masters in Library & Information Science. I can be a librarian and teach students on the level that i want to. i can have a closer relationship with them. and i will make a lot more money.
The primary reason i wasn't going to pursue an MLIS in the first place was that i didn't want to go to UCLA, which i thought was the only local school offering the program. My mom told me, though, that SJSU offers the MLIS through distance education and I can take all of my classes in person at CSU Fullerton. So i will still be fairly local and I can go to disneyland before and afterclass. sounds like a plan to me.
