First it's all about "Me, Me Me"

I didn't know what to expect for my first Library Science class.  I know no one in the program or anyone who has pursued the program. So I couldn't speak to anyone ahead of time to get a feel for how the course would look, run, feel etc...

I had not been on the "other side" of a classroom in many years.  I graduated with my MS degree in Counseling in 2004 and since then I have been working in higher ed. mostly in academic counseling positions but also teaching 1st Year Transition courses, or what used to be called "Freshman Seminar"

I became a Counselor because I love to help people, and although I joked in class I was sick of hearing peoples problems, I was being facetious.  The very reason I chose to pursue a second career is the very fact that I want to continue to help students, in my case college aged students, improve their lives and reach their academic potential. 

OK, now that I have bored you to tears, on to my class reaction!
