The other day I spoke on the phone with Pat's other mentee Pam. We were just exchanging ideas and discussing the things we have discovered along our journey of answering our questions and growing as interpreters through this Mentor Program. She shared with me all the classes she is taking and how passionate she is about the work she does, and I shared with her the research that I was doing and how much I truly love this job and care about doing my best.
We had a wonderful conversation but she gave me one really useful tip to expand my vocabulary. In the magazine "Readers Digest" they have a section called Super Word Power and you can quiz yourself on the definition on the words they have. I found a on-line Super Word Power game that I have downloaded to my computer and I try to take some time to play it everyday. I run across so many words in interpreting situations and this will really help me a great deal to produce the best sign for the word. I am learning new things everyday!
