Mar\u00eda and her daughter, Meydi, just moved to Milan from Honduras less than a year ago. Meydi suffers from extreme nearsightedness and multiple astigmatisms, so Mar\u00eda and I spent a lot of time talking about her health history and what the next steps to correcting her vision would be. I was nervous at first, but the folks at The Children\u2019s Low Vision Project were very kind and Mar\u00eda was patient with me if I needed a moment to figure out how to translate a certain phrase. It was such an enriching experience to be able to help someone in a way that allowed them to communicate in their own language. Plus, I was able to practice my Spanish in a real-world setting, so I felt very lucky to be involved!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/cml\/files\/2021\/12\/AbbyReynolds-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-872\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/cml\/files\/2021\/12\/AbbyReynolds-1024x790.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/cml\/files\/2021\/12\/AbbyReynolds-1024x790.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/cml\/files\/2021\/12\/AbbyReynolds-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/cml\/files\/2021\/12\/AbbyReynolds-768x592.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/cml\/files\/2021\/12\/AbbyReynolds-1536x1185.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/cml\/files\/2021\/12\/AbbyReynolds-2048x1580.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Doman recently reached out to several Spanish majors regarding an opportunity to interpret for a Hispanic woman and her daughter during their visit to a low-vision clinic in Kirksville, so I decided to help out!
