Male Female

So the person that I would like to describe is our school's librarian. She has been our school's librarian for more than 10 years. I go to the library almost every day of the week to study or just to read some books, and I meet her almost every day. To talk about how people perceive her, their opinion of her is really mixed actually because little children, especially, are really afraid of her and think that she is really angry. But in fact, she is a really smart and kind person that I respect so much. The reason I particularly wanted to talk about this person is because of the vast knowledge she has in books, and since I like books, we have something in common. Our interests are similar, so I have a lot to talk about with her. Her knowledge of books is really amazing, and I want to be like her when I grow up. When I have read many books like her, it's just amazing to me. I would also like to be a librarian actually because of her influence on me.
