In Eighth grade, I remember taking a humanities vocabulary quiz unprepared. I skimmed all the words and one immediately caught my eye, vex. I had remembered learning that the year prior in Latin class as vexo, -are, -avi, -atus. The only reason the word stuck with me is because Mr. Stewart would always say "You VEX me boy" so I thank him for that. Though I probably got a bad grade for not knowing any of the words, I was proud of myself for making a Latin connection.
