Thread 1- So I spent a year in Afghanistan training young Afghans to function at an elite level. Day in and day out you’re with them. Sharing meals. Sharing stories. Language is a barrier bc I’m a fucking idiot American. I had a personal translator for formal instruction.
2- the pool of translators were amazing. They had so many diverse stories. Unique. My translator was awesome and I wouldn’t trade her for anyone. She was truly spectacular.
Training the Afghans was hard but rewarding. I felt like they were being trained to truly contribute.
