Think about how studying Latin has changed your perception. You may consider topics of vocabulary, grammar or structure, word history, cultural history, or thinking in general. Your contribution to the discussion must be sincere, appropriate, and supported by at least one example of your own and different from others in your class.

Latin has greatly changed my perception of many aspects of my life. I now know more about the culture of the people in Alexandria and also in Pompeii. For many words that I usually don't understand, I now have a vague idea of what they mean because of my Latin vocabulary study. Also, in writing papers for various classes such as my research paper for US History 1, I have a larger vocabulary of words to choose from when writing. In my local parish, St Paul's Church, I can now understand the Latin phrases written on the stained glass windows in the church. Also, when we sing Latin hymns in church, I can understand many verses of the songs. When I am reading books not only for school but for leisure, I have a better understanding of what the words mean because of my Latin vocabulary study. Overall, I can confidently say that my study of the Latin language has greatly helped my school and personal life.
