A Greek Interpreter
Over the eight years that I’ve been a Greek interpreter, I’ve had so many profound
experiences where I’ve felt I’ve made a difference. I’ve had the exhilarating
experiences of helping save people in emergencies and accidents. I’ve been
fortunate enough to be the voice that gave parents joyous news of a healthy
pregnancy and told a frantic mother that her child’s fever had broken and he would
be just fine. I like to think I make a difference on every call — sometimes in a small
way and sometimes in a very big way. An elderly woman was visiting her husband
and got lost in the huge building. She was frantic. Upon hearing my voice speaking
her language, she began crying from relief, “You understand me?! Thank God! You
understand me! You understand me!” I remember that woman’s voice and words
every single day.
