Session Summary:
Seth and I had a TERRIFIC first session. I am quite impressed with this young man: articulate, personable, maybe not so organized, but once he found his Latin stuff, he got his head right into the session and it stayed there the entire 90 minutes, despite how tired he was and how much other work Seth told me he needed to do. We translated five (5) sentences of his homework, and I put him through the paces of my personal approach to translation. Not only did he keep up well, but he also provided me an excellent gauge of his command of the Latin, which is considerable (particularly remarkable considering what Seth shared with me about how terrible his 8th grade Latin teacher had been). Seth and I agreed not to meet again this week and not to meet during the Thanksgiving break which is all next week (though I will double check on that with Doug, Seth's dad). Thanks, Seth, for your good, hard work tonight.
