Latin Club, I
We
knew about

convention, and I’d heard
about how “fun” it was to go to convention, make new friends,
and participate in academic events. But when I first joined, I thought
it would be one of THOSE clubs: the ones where the clique that runs it
gets together all the time, but if you aren't a part of that clique, you'll
only be in it for a month. I liked our Latin teacher a lot, and Latin class
was fun, but so was Spanish class.
So I came to the first meeting expecting to join, then forget about the
club. It started off like the rest of them. I came in, and the officers
started talking about how great the club is, and the teacher spoke on
how the club was fun and such. But then I looked at the board, and I
realized that there was a get-together planned. And not some dumb one
where we go eat “Latin” food. One where you could actually hang out
and have fun. And there were events between now and March. Who
would've guessed? I was still worried that this was just a thinly veiled
clique gathering, but I was curious to say the least.
