As a child growing up , my imagination always had the best of me. I always thought of Liberians as teachers without a classroom but a library. I thought they all lived in books within the library and that’s why they knew where all the books were and what they were all about. Of course, as I grew up, I learned that that wasn’t the truth at all. To an extent, my claim was right. Librarians were teachers. They taught us how to properly use the library sources and how to utilize our time wisely while in the library.
Seen in shows and cartoons, librarians are always portrayed as cranky, old, and boring folk that don't enjoy their jobs and not that I'm saying that they are, I'm just making a reference. Anyways, I think it would be super cool if the librarians were actually magicians who could pull out any book on the shelf for any reader who had a hard time deciding what to read as if they could read their mind. It would almost be like a cover up as a super hero. That’s why librarians display such calmness, but in reality their wizards!
As technology increase and trees get cut more, I believe that the future of the library will go technological. So, most likely it will be just a huge study building with everyone on their nooks or electric device that holds books but the same concept of library’s will withstand. A place to read a book and study.

" The best thing about the future is that it only comes one day at a time . "

The future is yet to come, but I hope to achieve greatness in the years to come my way. I hope to pursue a greater education in the study fields of psychiatry or the field of forensic pathology. These two medical careers have always been an interest in my mind because the challenging aspect and the people you meet along the way just seem so infatuating in the 'adrenaline' kind of way. I find that because it is mostly biology based and or of probing the human mind, there are many things to explore within these two careers. If it is anything like the T.V show CSI, I think I’ll enjoy it very much or anything like those psychology sessions you see in film where you can find anything out of the ordinary. When and if I ever get the opportunity for a job opening for these two, I'd grab it the blink of an eye. I believe that the Pre-Collegiate program will help me in the career paths that i choose in ways of being prepared for how college life will be and how rigorous course will be. The program will help me exceed in the long run by giving me a taste of first hands on experience of what I should expect in collage and what's expected of students in the classrooms. Hearing from my friends that were in this program, they said that they we're thankful to be part of it because it showed them that collage life was no joke and the teachers in collage really don't care if you fail or pass their class. Once you enter collage, it's the students responsibility for whether they do their own work or not because the teachers aren't going to hold your hands anymore. I hope that by being in this program, I'll be more prepared for what's to come in the future.
