My first day interpreting! I started in the school house today. In the interview process I was told that I would be trained, then shadow an experienced interpreter in each area before working with visitors on my own. That didn’t happen. At morning check-in, Kim realized I was on my own for my first day! I might not have worried so much if she hadn’t seemed so concerned but I survived and actually had a lot of fun! Anne was great and walked to the school house with me before opening to help set up and give me a quick refresher. Today was our last busy day of visiting school groups. It was fun to see the little school house full of children and to get to talk to them about the ways school was different in the 1830s.
