Windy Elizabeth Martin
Montgomery, Texas, U.S.A.Full year
My main hobbies include horseback riding (Dressage), sailing, playing the trombone and other musical instruments, reading, and watching movies. From Class Afloat I hope to gain knowledge of the world and the chance to graduate early. My greatest challenge will be getting over my fear of heights. Its hard to say exactly what I want to do after this trip because I think it might change my perception of the world. Right now I think I would like to become either a professional Dressage rider in the Olympics or an engineer who designs boats for the America's Cup so that I can bring the cup back to America
Kevin Curtiss Price
Parker, Colorado, U.S.A.Full year
I am looking forward to the experience of sailing around the world but I will have to face the challenges of sleep deprivation, difficult classwork, and trying to sleep in a short bed. My hobbies are hunting, SCUBA diving, motorcycle riding and skiing. I have traveled to more than thirteen different countries already. In the future I hope to go to college and to visit the Bahamas.
Lisa Feldman
Glencoe, Illinois, U.S.A.Semester 2 only
I am 18 years old and I’m from the northern suburbs of Chicago. In my spare time I enjoy dancing, cooking, sailing, and traveling. My friends and family are important to me and I will miss them while I am away. After participating in the Concordia's summer program two years ago, I decided to spend my last semester of high school at sea. Class Afloat allows me to travel the world and continue my studies simultaneously.
Kristie Moore
Calgary, Alberta, CanadaFull year
I want to take this opportunity on Class Afloat to learn as much as I can about the diversity of life around the world. I hope to make friends that will last a lifetime. The greatest challenges will be trying to concentrate in class while seasick and trying to do homework while everyone else is outside having a good time. After Class Afloat I would like to study to become a physiotherapist or a doctor in sport medicine.
Brodie Fraser
Calgary, Alberta, CanadaSemester 1 only
I enjoy hanging out with my friends, playing hockey, football, and pool, and snowboarding. While aboard Concordia I hope to gain knowledge of other parts of the world, make new friends, have an experience of a lifetime, and to learn more about what I really want to do with my life. It will be a challenge to live in a small space, stay awake for night watch, maneuver sails at 3:30 am, and get all of my work done in time. When I get back to Canada I hope to do more traveling and snowboarding while getting good grades and having fun.
Charles Godbout
T.M.R., Quebec, Canada2nd Semester only
I learned about Class Afloat from my sister who was on last semester and I decided to participate for many reasons. First, it will give me a chance to visit countries that I never dreamed of seeing. Second, it will allow me to study in English which is great preparation for university. Third, I’m hoping this trip will help me find out what I enjoy studying the most. Last, I am looking forward to meeting new people and having exciting experiences.
