Her Campus Emory (HCE): What’s your greatest moment at Emory?

Zachary: It would have to be from back when I was in 8th grade. I had had a migraine all day long and wasn’t feeling too hot, but when I got to Latin class that morning everything set in. I hit the point of no return, panicked, leaned over my desk, and chucked right there on the classroom floor. The whole class erupted in laughter and had to leave the room. I was mortified.

HCE: If you could ask your future self one question, what would it be?
