"I like to open as many doors as I can for students so they can go on to success. Some go and some do not," said Charlotte Touati, a French teacher at Orem High School. Crystal Petty walked through those doors to a success that has not been achieved by an Orem student, at least not in the 25 years that Touati has been at the school.

The contest rated more than 93,200 students from all 50 states for their written, writ-ten, oral and listening comprehen sion skills in the French language. For Petty to have ranked nationally nation-ally it means that she ranked in the top 11 in the country. "In my 25 years at the school, this is the first time we have had a student rank nationally," said Touati. The award becomes even more meaningful considering Petty has only been studying French for the last two years. "I was originally taking German," Ger-man," said Petty "Then because of a scheduling conflict I was unable un-able to continue taking it. I still wanted to take a language so I took French." After one year in the language, Petty was placed in the French five class, this is for students who have been studying French for four or five years. Through diligence dili-gence and love for the language, Petty was ready for the advanced placement exam that she took May 10. "Most students take four or five years to be ready for that exam," Touati said. In explaining her passion for languages, Petty said, "I love languages. lan-guages. Each one has its own music. French flows off the tongue." Additionally, Petty received the annual Langenscheidt Award from the Langenscheidt Publishers, Publish-ers, Inc. The award is given to students stu-dents for outstanding effort and . achievement in the study of a foreign for-eign language.
