Time flies so fast, GEO 15 which started last January 2 has finally come to an end. The one month intensive English camp was a success. The culmination activity was held last February 1, at twelve in the afternoon at IH267. Eloquent Teaching Assistant Gellene Custodio was the master of the ceremony for the event. Professors, TAs, students were all present during the closing ceremony.

Profesors Nico and Corien also graced the event. Professor Nico also delivered an wonderful testimony - how he gave out his HEART to Korea.
Closing video was presented. The video was a compilation of all the class, team, club activities that the students participated in. It was a great memento for everyone to enjoy. In addition, the GEO 15 presentation contest winners were awarded their certificates and prize money. GEO 15 team leaders from X League and Z League also rendered their speeches. During this time, the crowd was shouting and cheering for their teammates. The speakers expressed their heartfelt appreciation to the GEO organizers as they really had a wonderful time during the camp. Some of them were even teary eyed when they were delivering their speeches. This farewell was a bittersweet moment. They were happy that they accomplished a great endeavor, but at the same time sad that they have to part ways with newfound friends and conclude with the wonderful experience.

The winners of the World Cultural Fair were also announced. In the X League, Team Seychelles came in first and in the Z League, Team New Zealand was the victor! Aside from the points for this final team competition, added points were given to each team who won special awards.
Professor Jerry was extremely thankful that Team New Zealand won the World Cultural Fair. He gave everyone an encouragement -- indeed if an individual endeavors hard enough he can be good at what he is doing.
Team Seychelles was emotional while Professor Peter was delivering his inspiring speech.
The much awaited GEO Cup Winners were revealed without further a due and the winners for X and Z Leagues are...

With that, this unforgettable winter camp ended with tears and laughter as everyone bid goodbye to their newly found friends. Indeed the farewell was a Bittersweet farewell moment but surely as most students shared, it is an incredible memory that they will deeply treasure in their hearts forever.
