Customer service, Japanese to English translation and vice-versa, communicated employee complaints to the owner and manager

The Junior Japanese National Wrestling Team visited my high school to practice against our high school wrestling team. Unfortunately, their translator could not make it to America because of family problems. The school asked me to translate for a VIP Tour of Levi's Stadium and our school campus, and we happily agreed. I translated the tour guide's words into Japanese, and the wrestling team's comments/questions back to English.
