Pumped for State
As I drag myself through my last remaining semester of high school, there’s really one thing that gives me something to look forward to: GJCL State Convention. The classics and the Junior Classical League have provided me with many of my most enrichening academic experiences and lifelong memories. The GJCL has become a place to call home, and the friends I have made across the state are some of the most genuine, intriguing, and influential people. Finally, State Convention is easily an annual highlight. To be able to serve you all in my last year as a JCLer is both humbling and inspiring.
So far this year, I’ve been working on keeping our wonderful GJCL website freshly updated, easy to navigate, and useful for JCLers and sponsors alike. Whenever I get to add information about an exciting GJCL event or Certamen tournament, I am truly excited by the great activity we have in the state. Furthermore, I’ve been collaborating with my fellow officers to bring the website some new elements. For example, I’ve (unfortunately) worked with Historian Eric to revamp the Photo Hub section of the website, now featuring the new Photo of the Month contest. I also plan on working closely with Parliamencherian Chris to improve the election and candidacy process in the near future.
Anyhow, I apologize that this letter didn’t end up as personable or entertaining as I originally intended it to be. Fortunately, State Convention will be just the opposite! I can assure you that fantastic and exciting things await you at Convention (e.g. cookies at the dance). I hope to see each and every one of you at Rock Eagle!
Gratias maximas,

year’s prizes are going to be awe inspiring, that is for sure. Besides planning State Convention and putting out the minutes, I have been helping with making the transition to having a 2nd VP in the state of Georgia. This has been a super exciting process thanks to Chris's leadership as parliamentarian, and I cannot wait to see what this next year brings us with all of the changes.
Having the opportunity to work my way up from just a normal JCLer, to hostess, to secretary has been an amazing ride, and I cannot imagine my life without all that GJCL gives me. I think what I am looking forward to most this semester is State Convention (obviously). It has always been one of the highlights of my year and this year is no different. There is something so unexplainably special about Rock Eagle, and I cant wait to be back there even though I'll be missing my Prom (there's always next year, right?). Prom has nothing on the State Con dances anyways. But, I am super confident that this year's convention will be just as amazing, if not more amazing, than the ones of past years. Although, it would be nice if it didn't rain this year...I cannot wait to see all of you, and I hope that you're all ready to be super spirited!!! Let the countdown to convention begin!
