My first translation

This is my first semi-professional translation. Though I did it gratis for my friend, Leonardo Garet, he is a real writer, with books of narrative, poetry, and criticism as well as anthologies published here in Uruguay. He also runs the writing workshop in the Salto public library, where I would go and sit in, until the futbol tournament with the CeRP students took up my Tuesday nights.

Here's his homepage. There are a number of other translations to be found, too.

And now that I've got my foot in the door, remember to send me anything you'd like me to help you with, translations or otherwise.

Good luck with exams!

Writing is SO important!

This recently published article from The New York Times is an inspiring example of teachers pulling together, and also gives good insight into the daily life at one U.S. high school. Enjoy!
