I went to my first OJCL convention in
7th grade and I walked in lost. I didn't know
anyone and I didn't know what to do during
spirit or at GA, but that quickly faded. I met
OJCLers that welcomed me in to the Latin
family. I met people who shared my crazy love
of Latin and I met people who I am proud to call
true friends. Ms. Inderhees, my Latin teacher,
thank you for encouraging me to run for office
and supporting me through every step of the
way. I couldn't have asked for a better Latin
teacher. I am so thankful to have been on the
executive board and to have gotten the chance to
work with all of these amazing people. I want to
thank everyone on the OJCL board and to tell
them that even though this is my last year as an O
study Po
at Columbia University!
