PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE WE HAVE ALL BE LIED TOO!!!! They say" Oh, we give the tools you apply them.", "You'll be fine when you graduate.", "You're improving doing good" WHATEVER!! I can tell you this, I was not prepared! For what you ask, my experience to go observe at a school. what could go wrong you ask? why was it frightening you ask? what were you thinking you ask? Let me tell you. Wrong, I accidently blurted out the answer to a student when they asked me. The student was trying to address the interpreter but we were engaged in conversation, and she was looking at me, so then when the student tried to address her and the she didn't see the student they looked at me and asked the question, opps instead of asking it back or tell them to think for themselves I shook my head, yes! Like duh, thats the right answer. How stupid...now I am "labeled" as the interpreter as if you ask she will tell. Probably not but thats what I thought. It was interesting observing for two days. Meeting different kinds of interpreters and Deaf students amazing. But really I don't feel prepared, I actually feel inadequate. The rest of the interpreters also graduating from the same program just offered else where were really good. Skills and knowledge seem to out do mine by a mile. overall I feel like I have alot to do. why do I feel like we're being lied too, its a joke. I really didn't on the spot remember how to apply what tools we've learned, but probably do to nerves who knows. Who knows??
