Can you translate? It’s not that easy!

Alejandra Garcia,
Nuevo, CA.

I am a 23 year old Latina who works at a public high school. People see me and they assume I’m like Google Translate. Yes I speak Spanish but just because I look Mexican doesn’t mean I’m fluent. People expect me to translate English to Spanish within seconds. It is not that easy people!! Plus, the fact that I’m not fluent makes it harder and I have to think twice as hard to come up with the correct translation. Shout out to my school: California Baptist University!
