You care. We understand.

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.
