The final day of the competition with the prestigious Debate Showcase is successfully behind us. We are proud of all our debaters, and Val Enej Jenko, who represented us in the panel at the Debate Showcase. Oh, wait, no. The day is not over just yet! Tonight, the floors will shake and the students will dance the night away. It’s the Scholar’s Ball. Tomorrow we are off to the Big Apple, the city that never sleeps. I hope we will!

The beginning of the competition! Positive excitement was felt from the early morning. The students were sent to different locations to tackle the essays, challenge, and of course, the debates. We did not see each other before dinner. Everyone was very hyper after, talking about the competition, judges and motions. We can say our teams were successful, winning at most of the debates. The evening was relaxed, but the buzz before the next day’s Scholar’s Bowl and the evening dance was palpable. Off to a new day.

After a successful registration, we were ready and equipped to start the competition. The opening ceremony was delayed due to the weather. Snow surprised us all. Not the snow itself, but how much snow fell in 2 hours the previous evening. Students completed the Scavenger Hunts, made new friends and mingled with people from many different nationalities and cultures. Tomorrow it starts! Good luck Danila Kumar!
