IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Zoe is a junior who is also a
first time JCL-er. We sat down
and she answered some of our
questions.
How did you get involved with JCL?
I started JCL when I joined Latin Club
and Latin Honor Society in high school.
Considering that I have been taking
Latin classes since third grade along
with my love for the language, it only
seemed natural to get involved in high
school.
What was the most memorable part for
you of your first JCL event?
The most memorable part was seeing
the sheer passion of those who were
all involved in the event, from the
planners to participants. There was a
true, unabashed love for classic
culture and language, and it
completely blew me away. I think it
struck me so much because everyone
was giving it their 200 % ,
wholeheartedly and avidly
participating.
Do you have any future plans for the
classics? What are your goals?
I sincerely hope to keep on taking
Latin as I move in to my college
career! Latin to me is a tether to the
history that shapes us, and it ' d be an
unfortunate loss to let that tether go.
