This afternoon at work, one of the teachers (I work at a tutoring center) was helping a student with an English assignment and the student was confused about a certain word (can't remember what the word was now). The teacher, who knew I was taking Latin this semester, asked me if I could help them out, hoping I could figure out the root word. Obviously, after just two weeks in class, I wasn't able to help, but the fact that studying Latin seems to be put in such high regard makes me more excited to keep studying. Maybe I'm just a dork. I can’t wait to see what happens as we learn more vocabulary. I hope I can teach one of the kids at my job a thing or two.
