Name: Hannah Marier
School: Marist High School
Grade: 10th
Favorite Latin Word: My favorite Latin word would have to be “spes” (hope) because after hard work, all that remains is hope.
Favorite Latin Quote: It isn’t really a “Latin quote” from Virgil or Seneca. Instead, my favorite Latin quote is “Nata sum parata” (I was born ready).
JCLove: For my JCLove I’d probably have to go with Bryce, my fellow host!
What do you plan to do as the new Host of the GJCL? As the new Hostess of the GJCL this year, I plan on focusing all my energies on service and being approachable. Expanding the GJCL to the smaller schools and giving the Latin programs of the whole state of Georgia an equal voice- this is what I hope to accomplish with my fellow GJCL officers this year. I want everybody to have the chance to understand just how amazing JCL is. JCL fosters a huge community of friends, scholars, and enthusiasts. I want everybody to see how beautiful that is and how utterly mindboggling it is that such a fantastic place even exists. Also, anybody is free to come and talk to me whenever they want! I’m always open to talk to about Latin or whatever!
What are you looking forward to most in the JCL? This is a hard question, because I’m looking forward to a lot of things this year in JCL! I’m really excited to work with all the other GJCL officers! They all are incredibly and genuinely nice to everybody they meet, and I hope that I can help them out anyway I can. I’m also super excited to meet as many new people as physically possible at State Convention this year! Please come and say hi!
If you were to have dinner with any famous person, with whom would it be? If I were to have dinner with any famous person, I would probably have dinner with J.R.R. Tolkien. He has influenced my life so much through his books, sparking inside me my love of reading and my imagination. Reading Tolkien inspired me to not only read more, but also to write more. I developed a love of poetry, preparing me for Ovid and others. Reading The Lord of the Rings might have been the most influential moments in my whole life.
