Hello all that check our blog posts! I had an interesting experience in Valdobbiadene staying with my host family, but it was great because I learned so much in a few days about how to really connect with someone with out using words. Also my host, Aurora, was so sweet, her family was really accepting and I ate so much.


Another great aspect of the trip is getting to know people from all different grades and getting closer with people you had already knew. I have really enjoyed getting to know all the upper classmen, am so happy that they are so nice and welcoming  and they have definitely improved the experience as a whole. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to explore Rome and be more independent traveling than I have in the past when I was with family. I also really like seeing sights that I have seen when I was younger on trips but love that I have a different perspective and a newfound respect for them now that I know more about their history. It is also great to see latin and use what I have been learning in class to translate old text.

In our AP Latin course, we had the opportunity to read Julius Caesar's De Bello Gallico and Vergil's The Aeneid, both of which at their time would have been read aloud at the Roman Forum by constituents of consuls and authors. In the spirit of Roman oratory traditions, the two of us read aloud a passage from De Bello Gallico that recounted the bravery of two soldiers during the Gallic Wars. We chose this passage because it represents traditional Roman values and appeared on our AP exam. Many of our peers, including ourselves at times, often forget the modern relevance of classics; recreating a scene from Roman warfare that we've analyzed gave us a unique sense of life to what we all consider a "dead langu...
