Who is...

by Betty Barton

Lara Roldo is the vivacious and
outgoing senior student travel
counsellor at the Terrace Travel
InfoCentre. This is Lara’s second
summer doing a job she considers
"the best job in Terrace". And she
says, "Bobbie Phillips is an excel-
lent person to work for - the best
boss anybody could have!" Lara
has already basically committed
herself to next summer at the
Travel InfoCentre, as well.

Lara feels her position as senior
travel counsellor links up with
exactly what she wants to do. And.
it’s given her insights into all sorts
of people and career opportunities.
She says "It’s the people that make
this job so great." Lara and her co-
workers Kiera Sundberg and
Selena Tank enjoy socializing with
tourists and locals who drop in
looking for information on their
travels, Lara recently met an Aus-
iralian couple who were so enthu-
siastic about the service they
received at the InfoCentre that they
came back after a trip to Stewart
to share their adventures. Lara

invited them home for a barbecue
and they stayed in the area an
extra four days. The tourists send
the girls pins, little presents and
lots of postcards in appreciation.
Lara is going into a third year
language program at the University
of Victoria and says "this is a great

_place to practise my languages.

Tourists-feel good when you can
say a few words to them in their
own language." Lara has quite a
selection to choose from. English
and Italian are her mother tongues.
Lara explains that both her parents
aré Italian, Until she went to kind-
erparten, she spoke very little
English.

Thanks to her mother’s foresight
and persistence, Lara got a formal
education in Italian at home, while
she gained a formal education in
English at school. Lara feels it’s
easier to pick up another language
once you’ve got a second one.
With that philosophy to live by,
Lara Roldo is majoring in Spanish,

‘taking a minor in Italian and also

taking French and German, on the
side.
At UVic, Lara is president of the

‘Ttalian Club. She says they enjoy

watching movies, especially Fel-
lini, in Italian with English sub-
titles for those not totally profi-
cient in their second language.
They go out for dinners together
and occasionally sponsor functions
for the school at large.

lady. She was really into sports
including basketball, volleyball and
horseback riding in high school.

And she loved to draw and paint. |

She finished Grade 11 French in
Grade 10, but never really thought
about going on in languages.

Lara explains that her love for
languages evolved out of a trip to

Taly with her younger brother,

Nino, in 1988. With her already-
proficient Italian, Lara delighted in |
the discovery of the history, cul-
ture and people of their heritage.
She had been to visit relatives in
1985, but thinks she just wasn’t

old enough to really appreciate the

impact of the trip. She vows, "My
children will speak Italian."

Lara, 21, plans to go back to
Europe in 1992 when she’s grad-
uated with her BA in languages. ©
There, she’ll attend the University
of Perugia in Italy. All her subjects
will be offered in Italian and Lara
thinks she'll probably take art
history, history and literature. Lara
says "My parents are proud that
we’re preserving the language and
the family history."

Upon her return to Canada, prob-
ably in early 1993, Lara plans to

‘go back to school for a diploma in
teaching English as a second lang- .

uage. With her background, work
experience and education, Lara
feels that many doors will be open
to her. She’d love to be a translat-
ox, teach English or possibly work
for Tourism B.C.
