I started my new job at Transition Plus through Saint Paul Public Schools. I am an Education Assistant/Interpreter so I'm not just letting my hands fly, I'm also doing a little teaching and, well, some assisting. We only have one student who needs an interpreter, and there are 2 of us who are EA/Interpreters, so sadly, I haven't been interpreting much so far. I'm slightly nervous that my skill will decline, because I've never been in a work environment where I'm NOT interpreting all day every day. But, I'm sure it'll be just fine. I just need to pick up some more VRS shifts and I'll be good to go!
So far, I'm loving my job. I work with 18-21 year olds who are "transitioning" into the real world and aren't quite ready for their diploma. It brings about it's challenges, but what job doesn't? I really feel like this was the perfect fit for me. I get to do some teaching, I get to help the students out with their needs and I can still do what I love which is interpreting.
In September, we had our first experience at Target Field! It is a beautiful place and I'm so pumped to get on the ball and go to more games next year!
And now it's October, which is kind of scary because I really don't remember much of September.... But it means Halloween is coming up, then Thanksgiving, then my FAVORITE time of the year!! While our life is not in an ideal situation right now, things are going really well and I'm grateful for what we have. Happy October!
