However, if situation arises and I need an interpreter I will voice my opinion... trust me.

I'm a client of the WVDRS (Division of Rehabilitation Services) and they told me they will work with the college for me. I like my counselor there... she's nice AND learning sign language from an old interpreter of mine... HOW COOL IS THAT?! LOL
