Story of the Day 7/ 5/ 2012
Sarah's interpreter met Sarah's interpreter.
This is what Sarah's interpreter told her, at school, this morning.
"I met your 13th interpreter."
Sarah had to think and think and think and think.
And, still, she was stumped.
Since Sarah has been at the public high school for 2 1/2 years, now, she's had a long list of interpreters.
Some have been truly awful.
Some have been scary.
Some have been bad.
Some have been so-so.
Some have been good.
And a few have been excellent.
Sadly, the last two categories were the most sparsely populated.
So Sarah was tring to figure out which interpreter was number 13.....
As Sarah's current interpreter described how the two interpreters met, Sarah realized which one it was.
Then, Sarah's interpreter, her current interpreter, who is fortunately one of the excellent ones said, "When she told me that she was #13, I said, 'I am interpreter #34. Ha!'"
Interpreter #13 was...startled.
She must have thought she had one of the high numbers.
I suppose that put a lot of things into perspective.

A most intriguing tale, but who was #13? Was there anything note worthy about #13? Just curious....smile...
Oh my, that's funny! :-D
There were a number of things noteworthy about #13.
First, she was after Megan - the interpreter of "vertical angles" fame. #2- She was ( until the current interpreter) the only good interpreter Sarah had for any stretch of time. ( She did have some good terps , but for a day her and there- this interpreter was there for about 2 months.)#3- She tended to show up late, day after day. Usually only 10 or 15 minutes, but a few times 40-45 minutes late. Probably, nota morning person. (That year school started at 7:23 AM.) #4- She made several comments to B.Henne about what NCHS was doing wrong....
