Hindi ko piniling maging language translator/intepreter. Nagkataon lang na nakita ko talaga na gusto kong tumulong. ‘Wag po kayong mahihiya na humingi ng tulong, kasi kung hindi po kayo magsasalita, wala pong makakaalam na kailangan niyo pala ng tulong.Sharon Idanan-Pagkaliwangan, NAATI Certified Interpreter & Translator
