My First Impression of Yale

When I first thought about Yale, what came to my mind was that Yale was one of the largest universities in the United States and the whole world. I didn’t know that Yale has something more important than just being the top university. Yale has the strongest community. Everywhere I walk I see groups of six to ten people walking together which I usually don’t see in any other universities. Also students at Yale are so helpful which is something that I am so impressed with. The way they help others no matter who you are, where you are from, or what language you speak. All they do is welcome you with a beautiful smile on their faces and accept you as one of their family. Have you ever left your family for a while, then you came back after everyone missed you so much and all they ever wanted was to see you again? Have you seen how happy they are when they see you again ? All they will do is to make sure you feel loved. That’s how I felt when I first entered Yale. I never imagined it could be like that. I also didn’t know that Yale gives so many opportunities to all Yale students, non-Yale students and high school students. I always knew that you cannot do anything at Yale unless you are a Yale student, and last year Yale proved me wrong by giving me the opportunity to do an internship working in the ITS department along with other ITS workers. And not only that, this year I was given a scholarship at Yale summer session for the program of intensive English which will allow me to keep my English improving in all ways, such as reading, speaking and writing. Yale is more than just a university - Yale is a dream place for every human being.

The Sunlight

Light is an important element that many people don’t notice. Anything beautiful needs light in order to shine or to reflect. Light can be used to catch people’s attention. I was in the Beinecki and when I looked around the walls I saw the light from the sun outside. Beautiful lightning danced around the walls. The walls are made of diamond shapes ….describe rather than tell us you like them. When I looked to the center I saw plenty of books. Old books. The most interesting books to read from all the good writers around the world. All the books were concentrated in the middle of the Beinecki. I wanted to touch them but “DO NOT TOUCH” . The books were surrounded by a beautiful clear glass so you can’t get near them unless you have permission. But I do not. When I looked behind me I saw brown comfortable sofas and a little white table next to each sofa. I said to myself “ Yess! I can’t leave this beautiful building...

Happy Family

Barbara Bush famously said, “to us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there”. I am one of nine kids in my family and although there are so many of us in my family, my parents still take care every one of us. It is so important to show physical love and it is so important to be there for your children. In “The Family Castle” Nancy Rakovsky writes,“The family castle is now your home, The stones grow ever stronger, For the castle's built on love and hope, Alone you are no longer.” This is a mother welcoming her son into the castle , which in her mind makes the castle grow ever stronger. It is obvious that this mother is so happy to welcome her son into her “castle built on love and hope”. The mother’s love for her son increases and the love between them grows ever stronger She ends the stanza with the idea that he would never feel alone because she will always be there for him no matter what. On the other hand, in The Gla...

A New World

Imagine entering a place where your eyes are open but you cannot see, your ears are hearing but you cannot understand and your lips are moving but you cannot speak. That’s how I felt when I first entered high school in America. Everything I faced was new - moving from class to class, bells ringing , standing in the line for lunch . I felt like I was dreaming. I also felt like it was going too fast, especially the teaching and the talking, the walking in the hallway, watching them staring at me and then laughing loudly . In my freshman year I was placed in ESL ( English as a Second Language) classes. It was Monday morning during second period. As ESL students we were told to make a conversation with a native English speaker to practice our English pronunciation. One of the African-American students picked me to talk to. "Hi!” I said, “My name is Heri, what is your name?" “My name is Abigail,” she said. “H...
