I was due to graduate next year, find a job and start life as an interpreter. Now, everything has changed and that plan will have to wait another year, or 10 months to be precise.
When the “Volunteers wanted” notice arrived, I didn’t give it any serious consideration before suggesting to some classmates that we should do this. As we were waiting for the results, it gradually dawned on me that I made this decision in an instant because it is something I have always wanted to do.
