This story made me cry (librarian influence)
July 8th, 2009 by melisMy father works for the State, as a Supervisor for Blindness and Visual Services, and one of the lady’s he supervises was driving elsewhere in the state with a contracted engineer and to pass the time the Gentleman was telling her about his son. Since he was three years old he has had a purpose in life, to be a life guard, which they always thought was cute that someone that young already was declaring what he wanted to do. Age 3, 4, 5, 6 and now, as a first grader he suddenly has a new desire. This little first grader wants to to be a Librarian.
Isn’t that cute? I had an awww moment, until my father continued his story. The child wants to be a Librarian because he has a new Librarian at his school and he wants to grow up to be like her, and he is reading all summer because he can’t wait to tell Ms. Chrusch about what he read when he gets back to school. The engineer lives in Dallas, and I am the new librarian in question
Wait, what? me? You’ve given up being a life guard for me? The dad said a Librarian is a step up from a life guard pay scale wise so he’s happy haha.
Well I need to stop getting down at myself, next time I do I will just have to remind myself of this story.
