My internship's site allows me to look at it and reflect on what I have accomplished and what else I could do. It serves as a guide that I can always reference to. While interning at Whispering Hope I have been asked multiple times to help. One of my goals when I first entered was to be of some help whether it be big or small. I just wanted to be useful. I didn't want to be known as the intern that kept quite and watched from a distance. No, I wanted to be useful. I've actually accomplished this. I am glad to say that every day I am there I am always someone the people around me can come ask for help.
At Whispering Hope the majority of the women that walk in are non-English speakers. This is where being bilingual pays off. Due to the fact that I am fluent in Spanish and English I am always helping to translate documents, fliers, messages, etc. Being bilingual has actually made my mentor's life a bit easier. At least I hope so. She no longer has to rely on Google Translate and run the risk of sounding "too proper." I enjoy helping her out and I can see she really appreciates it because I am able to translate it in a way that the Spanish speaking community can easily understand.
