 I'm a special ed teacher currently and I had my first beginnings in the library setting at the school that I currently teach at and I fell in love with the library there. I never understood it being a career pathway for me until I landed that job. Did my research went into you know different training programs for classified staff members within the library world and wanted to continue pursuing my master's. SJSU is fully online, it was affordable, they offered a lot of internship opportunities and I got to talk with someone you know who is a part of the enrollment process who you know shared a lot of information was really forthcoming and just approachable and so that made me feel comfortable that I would have resources and opportunities to have my voice heard if I needed support even though it was fully online. I have had an amazing experience in developing community within the iSchool. I am a volunteer for the ALASC, our student chapter and also was the special library association student chapter program director and both of my volunteer experiences allowed me to meet my peers, meet the different faculty and you know it's it's been an amazing experience to have that community of others even though we're you know across the different states.
