Karolina Vitkevičiūtė-
27th
December at Didzdvaris gymnasium is a special day. DG
IBDP students gather together at the annual IB
Meet. This year, 2013, the event was organized for the sixth time. Traditionally, not only do present students participate at the
meeting, but they also help at the preparation process. Some of us got the assembly hall ready, some prepared snacks, others greeted the guests,
and
me
and my classmate Ieva
hosted the Diploma giving ceremony.
Events on 27th December began with newly established Didzdvaris gymnasium IB Alumni club meeting. After that Ilona Radavičiūtė (5th IB generation student) announced the beginning of the
IB Conference. We heard inspiring stories by:
o Aidas Medžiūnas (1st IB generation student, now studying Mathematics in
Vilnius University), who told that people shouldn't be
afraid of making mistakes.
o
Dominykas Gudavičius (6th IB generation student, now studying Bio-mechanics in
Vilnius Gediminas Technical University), who told about the importance of
national defense.
o
Ligita
Ivanauskaitė (5th IB generation student,
finished Bachelor of Science in Psychology in Royal Holloway University of
London, now teaching Psychology in DG IBDP), who told about a research on
children that she had done in the University.
o Simas Simanauskas (5th IB generation student, finished International relations
and political science in the University of Sheffield, now working with the
program “Kurk Lietuvai”), who told that experience of living abroad can be very useful
for further life in Lithuania.
The
last but not least event on IB Meet was the 7th IB
generation Diploma giving ceremony. We saw wonderful performances by:
o
Kamilė Inčiūraitė (Current IB1
student)
o Gabrielė Andriūnaitė (Current IB1
student) and Vykintas Jasaitis (7th IB generation student, now studying Jazz in Klaipeda University)
o
Greta Keraitė (6th IB generation student, now studying Chemistry in Vilnius University)
Great speeches were given by:
o Paulius Urbonas (7th IB generation student, who is now studying
Economics in New York University of Abu Dhabi)
o
Kęstutis Balynas (former History teacher in DG IBDP)
o Kamilė Šeraitė (6th IB generation student, president of the DG IB Alumni
club, now studying Political Science at Vilnius University), who announced the
Alumni club officially opened and invited all the members to make an oath.
o Rima
Tamošiūnienė (Diploma Program Coordinator),
who gave the Diplomas to the 7th IB generation students with the
help of school principal Vitalis Balsevičius.
To sum up, I can say that the event went very well! As
present students of IBDP, me and my classmates got motivated by the stories of
former students and we are glad that we got a chance to be a part of this event
and its fluency.
