Source text - Spanish
¿Qué les digo a los chicos? ¿Les diré que sean honestos y derechos, o que aprovechen cada ventaja de la vida? ¿Mística o pragmatismo? ¿Será equivocado inculcarles valores que el mundo parece despreciar?

¡Tanta infundada preocupación! Los hijos escuchan lo que les decimos, pero aprenden de lo que hacemos o dejamos de hacer. Cada pequeña acción, cada gesto, el tono de una respuesta, la inconsistencia entre dichos y hechos... nada escapa del atento escrutinio de esas personitas que la vida ha puesto a nuestro cargo.

Desconsiderados intrusos que demandan nuestro tiempo y atención hasta cuando no nos queda resto, escasos en años y en tamaño pero colmados de humana complejidad, los hijos invaden nuestra privacidad, desarticulan nuestros planes y desvían nuestra brújula hacia nuevos puntos cardinales.

Quisiéramos que estos repositorios inocentes de nuestros anhelos incumplidos sigan las sendas que hemos idealizado y que deseen lo que nos resulta más deseable, pero ellos tienen sus propios sueños y deseos, y deberán encontrar su propia senda.

Una y otra vez intentamos usar nuestra experiencia para protegerlos de los golpes, pero hay cosas que solo se aprenden tropezando, y los acertijos de la vida no tienen una única respuesta.

¡Maravillosos cachorros! Aprendemos de ellos, o con ellos, más que lo que enseñamos. En sus voces nuestras palabras adquieren una nueva perspectiva, y sus necesidades y desafíos nos hacen replantear ideas y sentimientos sedimentados tras años de rutina.

Nuestros hijos nos necesitan porque les señalamos el camino. Nosotros los necesitamos más aún, porque ellos son nuestra huella.

Translation - English
What should I say to the kids? Should I tell them to be honest and straight forward, or to grab hold of every advantage in life? Mysticism or pragmatism? Would it be wrong to instill in them values that the world seems to look down upon?

So much unfounded worry! Kids hear what we tell them, but learn from what we do or don’t do. Every little action, every gesture, the tone of a response, the inconsistency between words and actions…nothing escapes the attentive scrutiny of these little people that life has put in our charge.

Inconsiderate intruders that demand our time and attention, even when we have none left, meager in age and size, but overflowing with human complexity, our children invade our privacy, shatter our plans and divert our compass toward new cardinal points.

We would like for these innocent repositories of our unaccomplished yearnings to continue the path that we have idealized and to desire what we find most desirable, but they have their own dreams and desires, and they have to find their own path.

Time and time again we try to use our experience to protect them from blows, but there are things that can only be learned by stumbling, and life’s riddles don’t have just one answer.

Wonderful pups! We learn from them, or with them, more than we teach. In their voices our words take on a whole new perspective, and their needs and challenges make us recast ideas and feelings developed through years of routine.

Our kids need us because we show them the path. We need them even more, because they are our footprints.

About me

Welcome to my profile! I'm glad you you're here.

I am a 15-year veteran linguist with strong professional ethics and an eye for detail. My native language is USA English and I am rated as a heritage Spanish speaker (native level).

During all of these years, I have never missed a translation deadline. This is due, in part to my sincerity regarding my abilities, and partly because I make my work a priority. I have a lot of fun working!

I hold professional credentials from the State of Washington, certifications through the Proz network, certifications from various large language agencies, and a Bachelor's Degree in Intercultural Communication.

All rates are flexible for large projects, ongoing work and other special circumstances.

I would love to help facilitate your communication needs....

Have a great day!!!!
