Guardian Angels

GUARDIAN ANGEL.

Vibrations of excitement and pleasure were evident in the air.It was the first day of summer break and the day was picturesque - cloudless skies,warm sun and the

cool breeze that played through my hair - and I was tempted to take mouthfuls of the rich air, fragrant with flavours of freedom and independence.This was a

usual condition that possessed me at the onset of every vacation.

I was seated at the window seat of the soaring bus bound to my all-time favourite holiday destination-the lush green forests and the mighty waterfalls.It was

when I was in ninth grade that we discovered this remote holiday spot near my uncle's estate.Set in a pristine and scenic background, stepping into this alcove of

nature was much similar to stepping away from civilisation,it's hustle and bustle into the venue where God and nature communed.

Born in India and raised in Qatar,I've a variety of options for attending college.But I chose to be a part of the best.I consider Weill Cornell Medical College, an outstanding hub of heavenly knowledge to be the place I belong.Not only can I benefit from the extensive resources that Weill Cornell provides but I believe that I can contribute something in return as well.Perhaps provide society with something extarordinary- the gift of LIFE.
