Rodriguez's interview with corporate attorney Elsa Banuelos was dismaying. Banuelos states that she is "tired of translating" when called upon by client or other attorneys to assist them with the busboys. Would Banuelos feel just as tired, or rather, embarrassed, to translate while negotiating a contract with another attorney or a Spanish-speaking client? I think not. It is unfortunate that Banuelos is not proud of her ability to converse in Spanish, even if it is only used to ask the busboy for another glass of water.
