Sadja and Dublin....

Hey! I'm Sadja.

I was born in 1998. I live near Bourges with my mother.

I like listening to music, writing stories and reading sometimes.

I'm a student in English language and literature.

I'd like to live in England for my job as a model, as a journalist in tabloids or as a French teacher in university. Next year, if I graduate, I'd like to go in a language university to learn English and start a new language.

I don't even know if it'll be Spanish or another like mandarin or Urdu.

But I have to finish my secondary school first.

In a language university, I'll have the choice to go in another country with Erasmus programme. So maybe one of my dreams will come true because I'd love to learn in a special college in Ireland : Trinity College.

I discovered this university during a school trip in Ireland and I fell in love with the architecture.  It really looks like an American college but it’s closer to us.

There are two statues outside the gates.

One of Edmund Burke who was a famous philosopher and a politician, and the second of Oliver Goldsmith, a famous Irish writer.

Both of them lived during the eighteenth century.

So many students dream like me to integrate this college but not every one  goes on. I can ask for it and I will. I really want to live the American university dream even if it’s in Ireland.

I propose to you to watch this video which explains the story of the university and students from different countries talk about their feelings :  

Trinity College of Dublin was founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth the first. It’s the older of Ireland. Made as Trinity Colleges of Oxford and Cambridge, this university accepted during a long time only men students but this law was erased in 1793 when Catholics were accepted too. In 1904, women could also be admitted in the university.

Trinity College is in Dublin city center, in front of the old Irish parliament.

It became an important place of tourism because of its history and its library which is really big. You couldn’t read all the books in it even if you read one par day.

In this library you could find the Book of Kells, sometimes known as the Book of Columbia.

 It’s a manuscript Gospel book in Latin.

 It’s one of the most beautiful because of the colors gold, blue, red on the book cover.

This book has four Gospels of the New Testament.

On Trinity College you can learn a lot of things like Art, Humanities and Social Sciences, with Music, Drama, Film or History and Humanities or Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies.

You can teach Law, Mathematics, Engineering, Science and Health Sciences and others.

Many classes for all students in the world.

Some of these students are known like the actress Katie McGrath, who graduated of Drama and seen on the TV show Merlin as Morgana, and the actor Dominic West or many writers like Jonathan Smith who wrote Gulliver’s Travels in 1726, Oscar Wilde, the author of Dorian Gray published in 1890, Bram Stoker who’s the author of Dracula published in 1897 and Serge Doubrovsky who was French and wrote Le Livre Brisé in 1989.
