Certified Interpreters & Their Connection To The First Thanksgiving

Certified interpreters are the bilingual adults who have dedicated their time and efforts towards ensuring that everyone should be able to communicate with each other- regardless of the language they understand. Their job is more involved than just being bilingual... although it certainly helps. Certified interpreters are the people who have attended interpreter school and then gone on to get official certification through their states' licensing board. It takes a lot of time and effort to become a certified interpreter but for a truly great interpreter- their education and training is never complete. Because they understand that there is more to the profession than being bilingual, and they recognize that language is as much about vocabulary as it is situational. Take yourself, for example. You speak differently to your friends than you do to at your job. Especially if you have a specialized career, like a surgeon for example, who spent years studying and perfecting their field... They would explain a procedure to a coworker using a far more complex vocabulary than they would explain it to their patient, who requires the same explanation just with a more common terminology.

Interpreters are the links between the old and young, ensuring that the ways of old don't get lost. Think about the elders in your life- the ones who might have immigrated through Elis Island (in New York), Angel Island (in San Francisco) or maybe they crossed the Texas-Mexico boarder in the '80s. Whatever their stories involve that got them to United States, it's a strong probability that it doesn't involve English. So then how did we retain all these Halloween traditions from other countries? Through the children who were born on US soil, who were taught celebratory traditions from their homelands. In the United States, we celebrate Halloween by dressing in creative costumes and accompany our children as they collect candy by trick-or-treating throughout the neighborhood. Other countries assign much meaning to their late-October celebrations that, without bilingual interpreters and English translators, would not be customary for United States citizens to adopt over time...
