because I played soccer and refereed in Denmark, and I met a woman named Leslie. She became my friend and told me to call her when I got permission to work. Instead, I started working at Walmart, in the toy section, but this job wasn’t for me. I needed to be working with people, with my heart. So Leslie found me and told me I could be an interpreter for refugees. She told me ‘They have a position at Lutheran Services. They want people who can interpret.” I told her that I couldn’t because my English was not very good, so it wouldn’t be possible. She kept telling me to try and got me an interview, because she was friends with the woman who would interview me, Karen. So I went to LSI and they asked me about my life, about everything. There were so many questions, and they were all in English. Now when I talk with Karen, my supervisor who interviewed me, she said “I gave you the job because of Leslie. Your English was so slow. But now, your English has exploded!” So I love my job now. I work with refugees and help them relocate
