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

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.
