Thing 23

This incredible journey has come to an end. It was a scary, at times frustrating and at times fun journey. It was a very good learning experience. There are so many demands for my time that I don't play with my computer like I probably should. You showed me how to play and how to learn things. With my fellow workers I stayed with it, their help was great. I no longer feel as "dumb" about the computer as I did. I think maybe I could have played around more than I did. Sometimes my blog looks very plain and unadorned. I am amazed that after the first few struggles to post it came much easier, I could remember when to edit Html and when to compose.
I don't know that I really had life long learning goals for some of the things that this involved. But I'm very happy to have had the chance to look at many of these places and idea's. Some of them really do make you think about how to use them for your own self and how could we use them here at work. Can we teach them to our public? I would like to think that we could, if the public was willing to learn.
I am surprised at what I did learn and what I did accomplish. This was very new ground for me. I think some of my fear of the "new" is contained. Not gone, but less than it was before. I am surprised that I actually did struggle through the hard times and accomplished this whole program. For that I am grateful to all who have helped me along the way.
I would probably participate in another program like this. It's where the future is and I certainly want to be part of that future. For myself, and my loved ones and for the public. We are YPL and we want to give the best service possible. It's reward to tackle something new. Maybe I haven't learned as much as there was to learn, but I did try and I would try again. Any thing that is taken from this and put to use in my life is a good thing.
Thanks to all who worked so hard in getting this set up. Life is all about learning.
