As our students prepare to take their next steps, they officially become Survaliennes, carrying with them the spirit and values of Surval. At our final assembly, they shared heartfelt and emotional words in their farewell speech, reflecting on their time here and the memories they will cherish forever. Now part of our global Survalienne network, they join a community of inspiring women who remain connected to Surval and to each other. We look forward to welcoming them back in the future, whether at a Surval reunion or when they return to visit their home away from home.

Loretta (2024, Mexico) shares her thoughts, expressing:
"Today, I’ve been asked to talk about my time at Surval, which is really difficult since there’s so much to say in just two minutes. Surval has been an unforgettable chapter of my life, filled with moments I’ll always cherish. I am really grateful for my friends and teachers, who have supported me every step of the way, always bringing a smile to my face.
From the incredible trips to even a math lesson, I tried to make the most of every day here. Although my time at Surval was short, it was truly special, and I wish I could stay longer. The relationships I’ve made here will always have a place in my heart, and I will miss all of you very much.
To those fellow students that are also leaving I am sure they feel the same way about surval and I will also will be missing you very much
Finally, I want to thank all of you for giving me such a wonderful experience. Surval has given me memories I’ll have in my heart forever. Thank you, everyone."
