TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF . WHEN DID YOU FIRST LEARN ABOUT CLASSICS ?
I ' ve loved mythology since the day I found a myth book in the library and was so bored , I picked it up and read it . Loving mythology was one of the main reasons I decided to study Latin and after I started , I just loved the language .
HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE PETRINO AWARD ?
I didn ' t acutally ! My teacher nominated me and I only found out that this award existed when I recieved the email that I had won .
WHY DO YOU LIKE THE STUDY OF CLASSICS AND MYTHOLOGY SPECIFICALLY ? WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MYTH ?
As a whole , Latin is really fun and JCL has made the study of classics even more enjoyable . Mythology has always been a passion of mine since I discovered it , and the study of classics has really helped me cultivate that passion .
WHAT ’ S YOUR DREAM JOB ? HOW DO YOU THINK THE STUDY OF CLASSICS WILL HELP YOU ACHIEVE THIS DREAM ?
My dream job is to be a singer . I don ' t really know if the classics will ever help me achieve this goal , but learning Latin has really helped enhance my understanding of the English language which I think can benefit anybody aiming for any career .
BESIDES ACADEMICS , WHAT ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT ?
I love drama and musical theater along with singing , so at school I perform a lot !
