Senior Kari Jo Schneiderhan spent 10 days in China traveling to world re- nowned cities, Hong Kong, Canton, and Seoul Korea with TAC (Track Athletic Congress) a cultural athletic exchange program offered to gifted athletic stu- dents. Hong Kong and Seoul were just like regu- lar big cities; there were McDonald ' s, Kentucky Fried Chicken ' s, and everyone spoke English, but Canton was totally China. We were like movie stars; everyone smiled and waved to us. Schnei- derhan played volleyball and got to work with potential Olympic contenders from China. Un- like the United States, these students are chosen to go to special schools where they have the op- portunity to enhance their gifts. Meanwhile, on the other side of the continent, senior Kim Melchert traveled to other hotspots in the world: England, France, Germany, and Swit- STUDENT LIFE zerland, just to name a few. Melchert spent a fun filled month in Europe with the Montana Youth Choir. I was really excited to go, but when we finally landed in Heathrow Airport in London, I got a little nervous. We sang at a lot of different places, but the funnest concert we gave was at Notre Dame in Paris in front of over 6,000 people, said Melchert. However, she didn ' t spend her entire time singing; she also spent time sightseeing. We did a lot of tourist things, going to the Effiel Tower, the Tower of London, and we also visited a lot of museums. If I had the chance to do it again, I ' d do it in a second, said Melchert. Summer, it was a great time for a lot of people, and for CMR students, it was the Hottest time going. -Shannon Pugh
