Sue goes to GPC reunion

Sue went through the Interpreter's Training Program (ITP) at Dekalb College to get her 2-year degree in Interpreting back in the early 1990's. Well, that school is now known as Georgia Perimeter College, and she went there today to be part of an ITP reunion. She said it was a lot of fun, seeing all the people that have gone through the program, many of whom she has known now for quite some time. She said she felt a little old, though, when they started asking for who had gone through the program the earliest and she was the 2nd place person (meaning there was only 1 person there who had been through the program earlier than her!). Pretty funny...

Taking CI test today

Sue has done well preparing for the Certificate of Interpreting test. She's been practicing with friends, teaching, and watching sign language DVDs to get ready. The jobs she has been taking have helped her get ready, too, which has helped her a lot. She was a little nervous about the test itself but very cconfident in her ability today when she left.

Even though she's already nationally certified with her Certificate of Transliteration (CT) it will be nice when she can add this to her list of accomplishments and be able to earn more when she interprets. Wow, all of this AND taking care of me and the kids. Woohoo! What a woman!
