<p>22-year-old Marina Keegan died in a car accident FIVE days after graduating from YALE University. The English major left behind an inspiring final column that has the web talking.</p>

<p>yup, read it a year ago. It’s fine, but it’s only famous because she died, not because it’s of otherworldly quality. It’s sad that she died so young, but then again, the 5000 kids in the Congo that died the last few years would probably qualify too.</p>
<p>I don’t think its value came from her death at all, nor does it have to be compare to others’ death, rather the PERSPECTIVE of an individual with something a lot of someone connect to. Those who connect to her isn’t children or elders, they are us, people in school; students, ones who are young, ones who take tests, ones who go all nighter, ones who take SAT, one who live in dorms…It rage to see an American school-men have actual connection to the circumstances of the people of Congo, Africa. Sure the other crisis in the world might be more tragic compare to Marina Keegan’s but she is whom we have more sense of connection to.</p>
