STUDENT CENTER – GATHERING NINE

                                                                        “What is life?
                                                    It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
                                                    It is the breath of a buffalo in winter.
                                        It is the little shadow that runs across the grass.
                                                           And loses itself in the sunset.”

                                                                                                     author unknown
