My educational experience at SCILS has been… interesting. I have learned so much, and I am glad to have learned so much. But, in the two years I’ve been taking SCILS classes, I can’t say that I’ve always enjoyed them. Some classes I have loved. Other classes have made me lose tears, weight, hair, and huge chunks of my sanity. Nevertheless, I have learned a great deal in every class I’ve taken, so it’s been worth it all along.

I am a completely online student. I have only twice stepped foot on the New Brunswick campus and one of those times was WAY before I even considered becoming a librarian. I’m glad that I’m an online student because I’d never have been able to get to New Brunswick to take classes. I’m also very glad to be going to RU-SCILS, the #1 school for school library media specialists in the country!

Thanks to SCILS, I am much more technologically savvy than I used to be. I am also better read and more informed on library issues. I feel like I’m being well prepared for a future in librarianship. I may just turn out to be a very good librarian thanks to SCILS. As I will be graduating in December 2008, we’ll find out soon enough!
