for the county job.
i literally had to prove my ability to do therapy in spanish by saying the numbers 4, 7, 9 in spanish. saying the months august, march, september, and october in spanish. saying "good morning," "good afternoon," "hello," and "goodbye," "street," "welcome," "north," "letter," and "please" in spanish. and then telling her how i learned my spanish.
literally rachel mcgovern, who is three and who learned spanish from sesame street and her babysitter, could've passed the test.
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
-Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi 1207-1273, written in 1230
