Often, we hear tales of gangs and gangsters that rule cities owing to great influence over authoritative figures. Most of these tales come to us from news about third world countries wrapped in turmoil and chaos amidst lawlessness. Hence, to imagine a pair of twin brothers leading a gang to rule over Eastern London during the 50s-60s era is difficult, to say the least. To say that the Kray Brothers were the foremost perpetrators of organized crime in East London would be an understatement. The twins

The Kray twins were infamous gangsters in London during 1960’s. Ronnie and Reggie Kray were born on the 24 of October in Hoxton, east London. The twins were notorious for their gang and its violence also for narrowly avoiding being sent to prison many times. Although many people know the things the Kray twins did when they were already famous no one really knows what made them become gangsters. The Kray twins were Irish, Jewish and Roman Gypsy. They were identical twins. Reggie born 10 minutes

“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” (White). Elwyn was a great and always full of humor and that came out especially in his writings. All growing up I read a lot of his books because they were books that were in the family for a long time and every one of my siblings read them growing up. They were books that we passed down because they were some of the best books for kids to read when they were old

have been one year back in America for you after getting your diploma from Oxford, and will be going to Weill Cornell Medicine for your PHD in Neurosurgery or Cardiology. Hopefully in your year off we have traveled to Japan for collecting special weapons and already got all the amazing weapons from britain. I bet you are still wondering where you will move after your finished at Cornell, don’t worry though we have it all planned out. After graduating you will move to Canada most likely Tornado or

to count the passing of time, but in divisive times, the signs are mixed up, and my math cannot seem to count up the holes left by deportations or people who did everything right, but it’s on the ground, then in the ground they are left. I came to Cornell identifying as a son, a brother, a student, a music player and a runner. However, something about a predominantly white institution, or maybe just college generally, made me recognize who I was, or rather what identities people perceive when they

Richard Feynman What would you say if you could be a person that changed the way we understand the world around us with new understandings of quantum mechanics? A person that became more than just a renowned physicist and teacher, but became an icon. Well that person was Richard Feynman. During his lifetime, he became one of the most well-known scientist in the world. Feynman not only made many contributions to the world of quantum physics, but was also held in high regards for his amazing ability

leadership, and community service. They include Brown University, Harvard University, Cornell University, Princeton University, Dartmouth University, Columbia University, Yale University, and the University of Pennsylvania. Out of the eight ivy leagues, Cornell University happened to provide the best computer science program because it has its own college of computing and information science. Although Cornell would provide more security in getting a job, I wanted to find more schools that might

From the early year of his life as a undergraduate student in China, Jia Sheng dreamed of going to America for his advanced education. When he graduated from Liaoning University, he was accepted by Brown University as a graduate student. He thought this was a great oppotunity for his life. Journey from China to America Jia Sheng had a long journey from his hometown Shenyang in Northeast China to Providence Rhode Island in the United States in the fall of 1983. It took him over 14 hours by

that I can skip class everyday and still pass with an A average. Despite all the things I didn’t get taught in high school, I did learn some unique aspects that I can reflect on and use for college. The skills I reflect on are annotating, using the Cornell note-taking system, and how to be on time for school. To begin with, the first aspect I reflect on from high school is annotating. Annotating helped me a lot when I was taking final exams and other test. This is one of the most I reflect on because

an alumni, I look back and get all these messages about the events, like Zinck 's Night and all that. I didn 't participate in any of that, the traditional Cornell events. [Instead] we had the Black Gospel festival... Honestly I think if my group of friends and community didn 't seem very involved, weren 't very involved in events like Cornell 's Homecoming and Zinck 's and all that, I didn 't seem very interested in it. Even knowing the history I just wasn 't very
