Dear David,
First off, I love your work. As an assignment in English class we have to write a paragraph on an interesting story you found on the internet and I have used a story of yours every time. Now, I totally agree with how librarians are definitely an essential “teacher” in my high school career. In some of my classes I sit there and think “why am I learning such a pointless task I know I will never use in my profession I want to achieve in”. I know personally I go to the library on all of my off hours and talk to my librarian about difficult tasks I do not understand. She has also given me great advice just like your blog states, focus more on self-guided learning rather than teachers telling you what to do all the time. Even though we have to take classes in high school we hate, learning early of what we want in life is important and I think librarians are a perfect example of people who are there to help you rather than check you out books.
Gabe- this is nicely written, but needs a few touch-ups. First of all, work on addressing Mr. Warlick-not David. Secondly, your librarian is a male not a female. Finally, make sure to reference specific quotes in your post and hyperlink to the original source. Keep working!
