Hi Five, @pubkid
@pubkid BEING PRODUCTIVE
Well. Since we’re telling cultural transition stories, I might as well a post mine.
I move to America from China in first grade. To survive, I used a handheld translator device. It was a double screen, foldable electronic- I type something in in English on the bottom, and get a Chinese translation out on the top, or vice versa. My school’s ESL (English Second Language) program was full, so I was put right into the classroom with all the normal American 1st graders. I relied on the translator for everything- instructions, schedules, getting to places, conversation, etc. I also looked like a little koala bear, except not as cute. So imagine a small yellow koala bear waddling up and down a hallway, needing to constantly stop and type things in to figure out what its role was in this new, strange world.
One day, I was going about business as usual, when a rather intimidating teacher stopped me in my tracks. She was angry about something, but I couldn’t figure out what. Later, I found out that she thought my translator was a Nintendo DS- which were prohibited in school hallways. So she yelled at me for a bit while I sat there, with my brows creased in confusion, looking words up (playing on my DS while a teacher was scolding me for it definitely looked SUPER disrespectful). Eventually, she just HAD IT, snatched my translator, and walked away.
And you know why I couldn’t tell her that I needed my translator?
SHE HAD MY FREAKING TRANSLATOR.
So, later on, my parents found me back from school, and I was rather sad because the one thing that connected me from gibberish to sanity was amiss. I debriefed them on the situation, and they went to school to demand my translator back. Because my parents were going through the same lingual transition that I was, they had the same translators. I don’t know what exactly happened, but I like to imagine that the teacher was very confused as to why there were two adults playing Nintendo DS’s in her office.
So eventually everything got resolved. I got my device back, learned English (or at least, I like to think so), and was freed from my burden. Oh and that thing totally had games on it lolololol.
My gap is also 5 line breaks
Lol i can’t believe I’m freaking out over line breaks…smh
@Pernix I’m so sorry. That must have SUCKED.
The interviewer said To disregard the email if you’ve already been interviewed. I heard they had a new interview system this year that has been messing up a bunch of stuff.
