CANDIDATE BIOGRAPHIES: TECH CO
PAGE 17
Kyle Jain, Brookfield Academy
What do you do outside of Latin and school?
Outside of Latin and school, I do chess, soccer, and Greek. I
play a lot of chess and I teach it to a group of elementary
schoolers in my free time. I also love soccer, and it’s one of
my favorite ways to pass the time. I self-study ancient Greek
and love it because of the complexities and syntax of the
language. In spite of all this studying, I somehow manage to
have a social life.
What position are you running for? Why did you choose
to run for it?
I’m running for tech coordinator. I chose this position
because I enjoy paying attention to small details, which is
very important for a tech co. I also want to use this position
to help my fellow JCLers develop the same interest I have in
the classics.
Why are you the best candidate for your chosen position?
I believe my previous experience and new ideas make me qualified to be Tech Coordinator. My strong work
ethic helps me design websites, a task which many find tedious but which I enjoy. As BA Latin Club
Secretary, I have handled all technology-related jobs, completely revamping the website and updating its
pictures to showcase the club’s recent activities. I also added a constitution page, and I’m currently working
on an academic resources page to help club members study. Moreover, I know the basics of coding HTML
and CSS, and I will be able to put these skills to use.
If elected, what changes would you implement? What would you keep the same?
As Tech Coordinator, I would keep track of state convention tests and add them to the website to make
preparation easier. I would also include an events page and edit the about us page so visitors can easily learn
about what it means to be a WJCLer. Addition ally, I want to create an academic resources page with study
materials for Certamen, Latin, and Ancient Greek. Finally, I want to make an officer fun facts page so that
JCLers can get to know their board. I want to keep almost everything else the same. The current tech
coordinator, Michael Ginn, has done an amazing job formatting and organizing the website.
Which Greek or Roman god are you and why?
If I were a Greek god, I would probably be Hephaestus because we share many similarities. For example,
Hephaestus and I are both non-athletic (for different reasons). Hephaestus seems like a pretty chill guy and I
like to think I’m also pretty chill.
Stranger Things or Riverdale?
Stranger Things because I love all movies related to Halloween, even though I’m often too scared to watch
them.
Anything else you’d like to share?
An interesting fact about me is that I am a huge cat person. If you are a fellow cat person, we are already
friends. I own two cats, Patch and Robert. I also like dogs, but nowhere near as much as I love cats.
