My mom's a movie star!! Just kidding but she did make it on the local news this week. She's is an educational interpreter for a deaf student at one of the high school's where she lives. The student she interprets for plays on the football team and channel 6 news decided to do a story on him so she was right there ready to interpret the interview. Even though she wasn't crazy about being on TV she did great! Here's the link to the story:

I'm going to take just a minute to brag because I'm so proud of mom and everything that she has accomplished with her carrer as an interpreter. She started taking interpreting classes when we I was in high school at a community college nearby. (It was the only school that had a program at the time.) Shortly after she graduated from there the university in town started a program so she jumped on board and earned her college degree. What I'm most proud of is that she recently passed her national exam and is now a Nationally Certified Interpreter. Way to go mom! It's not been the easiest road for her but she never gave up and all of her years of hard work have finally paid off! I am so proud of you and love you lots!!
