'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'

Rebecca- age 8


'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.

Hi everybody,

I'm currently trying to translate my French CV to English, and I wonder how I could translate the job "Ingénieur systèmes" in the IT field.

See you around the coffee machine soon.
