GDCI Students Visit the Big Apple


This past weekend 40 GDCI students embarked on a 10 hour bus ride to the city that never sleeps: New York City. I was one of the lucky students that got to take part in this amazing school trip. On the first night we got there we view the city from great heights- the top of the Empire State building a view that truly took my breath away. The city is delightfully overwhelming. Your senses are put to the test as there is so much to see, smell, touch, taste and feel. Other highlights of the trip included seeing a Broadway play- the smash hit Mama Mia, a walk in Central Park, shopping down Madison Ave, a visit to the museum of modern art. Seeing some of Andy warhol work was truly breath taking. Mr. Lewis stated that we were one of the best groups of kids he has taken on a trip in a long time. I could not agree more. The group was eager to learn and enjoyed every moment of the city. I personally cannot wait to return. It was an extraordinary experience. Bright light, big city, that’s where I want to be.
