“Interpreters are like the wheel, the airplane, the Internet, the cell phones; we are a major breakthrough in communication; we elicit people from all-over-the-world to feel at home in this melting pot of cultures that is the United States of America, the home of the brave!
I love my profession and thank God every morning for allowing me to do this!”.
