Personal Narrative: Beebe Lake At Cornell University
As one of the Transcendentalists, Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting.” Different from other typical Chinese students, I am not very proud of my handwriting, but I am certainly sure that I am extremely proud of my unusual serendipity to seize any opportunities to appreciate the natural beauty around us. In Cornell University, one of the most beautiful campuses in the whole world, I found my special niche in the place called Beebe Lake.
Before I came to Cornell, I once thought that I was very familiar to lakes, for there is a big park with three different sizes of lakes next to my house. But now, the Beebe Lake refreshed and changed my understanding of how to define a lake is vigorous or dynamic.

On the both side of the lake, there are lovely lodges surrounded by the forest and dense bushes. A few clear streams flowed out from the mountain. Then they meandered gently through the trail and went down to the creek. Looking up and down, I found it hard to distinguish which was the sky and which was the lake. I even thought the fish in the lake was actually fly in the sky, since the mountain and clouds scene reflected in the tranquil lake so
