I think that incoming freshman should definitely have the option of taking Latin. Latin has already helped me with my vocabulary, and I can easily connect my English class's vocab unit and and Latin class's vocab to get a better grade in both. For many people, the unusual range of classes draws them to John Carroll, and the offer of Latin as a foreign language is intriguing. I told many of my shadows to take Latin, and most of them seemed very interested. Although it is a small class, which some my consider a detriment to the program, I consider it a good thing. It allows Mr. Wojo to lead class discussions in which we can take part more easily than we could if it was a big class. One of the most important aspects of Latin for me in the community. There are 5 other people besides me in my Latin class, and they are one of the best things about freshmen year. Anytime I had a problem, I knew that I could go to one of them, and they would help me in anyway they could. Although I agree that academics are a huge part of our everyday classes, knowing that you have people that you can go to is something that every freshmen needs. Without some of my friends in this class, I don't know where my self-confidence would be, but they have helped me become someone totally comfortable in high school. Latin class helped this happen, and I feel that having Latin for 3 years will help me on my way to becoming a journalist, and a better person throughout and after high school.
