Setting goals and making a plan to achieve them is definitely one of my strong suits. Social media can be very opaque. Full of motivational quotes, photos of nature and pictures of us living our best life. There are not many of us who knows what goes on in our friends lives outside of the image portrayed on social media.
I’m not one to talk about my personal life outside of posting pretty/positive things in social media.
For example...I was in a car wreck in June and got a concussion. My car ended up being totaled. The
other person was completely fine. I walked away with a minor concussion, some airbag burns and
bruises. It was so scary though. Curse being vertically challenged and blind spots. So it was a
surprise a week later when I finally told some of my best friends. Sorry Crystal, Rachel, Emma, Sarah
and Ashley!

So here it goes. Ever since I knew I wanted to become a librarian, my long term goal was and still is to
become a Director of Media & Technology for a school system. I want to help schools and fellow Media
Coordinators grow and flourish in the ever changing world of technology in the 21st century. So in March
I applied to grad school at UNCG, to be a part of their Media Supervisor Licensure program.

In May I found out the Director of Media and Technology in my school system was retiring. I knew I had
to apply. I was a little apprehensive because of my age and experience. I’ve been a Library Media
Coordinator for 9 years. BUT, I was not going to let that stop me from applying.

To my delight, I got an interview in June. It’s very flattering to be selected among your peers. But let me
tell you, it’s nerve wracking and exhilarating to sit in front of your supervisors and school system
colleagues while discussing your vision and passion for the position.

and I am so excited to learn and grow in my profession!

I did not get the position. While that was a little discouraging to hear, it was also understandable. I 100%
believe that everything happens for a reason. The person who got the position is fantastic and she has
been an educator for a long time. I know we are in good hands!

The interview was a great experience and helped me determine that I definitely want to pursue that
career down the road.

If you have goals and dreams that you want to fulfill, I say go for it! And at the end of the day know that
you tried your best!
