Day 25 - Exam & Final Banquet
July 22nd, 2025
Our final full day together was one to remember from start to finish. In the afternoon, students completed their final exams, where they put their learning to the test after three and a half amazing weeks of immersive, experiential education. The focus and determination in the room spoke volumes about just how far they have come.
Once exams were over, it was time to celebrate! In the evening, we headed to a local restaurant for our final banquet. Over a delicious meal, we reflected on all we have experienced together….learning, exploring, laughing, and growing side by side.
After dinner, the memories kept coming as we watched a slideshow of highlights from the trip. Smiles and laughter filled the room as students looked back on unforgettable moments. Then came one of the most anticipated parts of the night: the iconic GSA paper plate awards and souvenir handouts! Every student was recognized in a fun, personal way that truly captured the spirit of our group.
We ended the night with a room full of singing, dancing, and joy. Back at the hotel, the celebrations continued with late-night snacks and a special birthday surprise for Luca.
It is hard to believe tomorrow we say goodbye, but tonight was the perfect way to close this incredible chapter.
