17

Nobody turns 17 twice. Luckily, I nailed it the first time. Here's to all the amazing people in my life.

“Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.”

APAC Choir 2011

I have been to APAC Choir for the past two years, but this year was different. It was an amazing experience, from our kind and hilarious homestays (who were both Australian PE teachers at TCIS), to the beautiful music we created together, and the Concordia Chamber Singers of 2011. There is a special bond that comes with creating incredibly emotional, and refined music together. Taejon is a beautiful and exciting city and I wish I never had to leave.

It's not just having to face the mountains of homework back at school, but also knowing that this is my last APAC. Hans, a Concordia classmate who graduated last year, told me that the experience we make at APAC is special, and is perhaps the only aspect that college cannot rival. When we parted in Taejon, and we ended the beautiful music that we had just rehearsed for the last three days, I knew it was true.
