Stanford University, officially Leland Stanford Junior University, is a private research university in Stanford, California, and one of the world's most prestigious institutions.
Stanford was founded in 1885 by Leland Stanford, former Governor of and U.S. Senator from California and leading railroad tycoon, and his wife, Jane Lathrop Stanford, in memory of their only child, Leland Stanford, Jr., who had died of typhoid fever at age 15 the previous year. Stanford admitted its first students on October 1, 1891 as a coeducational and non-denominational institution. Tuition was free until 1920. The university struggled financially after Leland Stanford's 1893 death and again after much of the campus was damaged by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Following World War II, Provost Frederick Terman supported faculty and graduates' entrepreneurialism to build self-sufficient local industry in what would later be known as Silicon Valley. By 1970, Stanford was home to a linear accelerator, and was one of the original four ARPANET nodes (precursor to the Internet).

My dad surprised me with a fish and a mason jar was all I had on hand. I got him as a surprise gift and didn't have time on short notice to get a tank. I couldn't just leave him in the bag, and the jar was all I had. I even rush ordered fish food for this little guy. I also called a local pet store and asked about how long I could keep him in the jar right when I got him, and they said he would be fine until I got the chance to buy something bigger. They said not to worry or rush. How I got into Stanford: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T4cjJYbIng My essays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duDwQdFHVbY Like I ...

I just wanted to share the stuff that I wish I knew before I started the process a year ago! These are my tips and advice to get into Stanford, Ivies, and other top schools especially when you don't have the cure for cancer, the last name Obama, or any Nobel Peace Prizes (yet).

Unfortunately, I was not able to go to the top as it was closed during the holiday weekend. At the end of the video, I get to see Stanford Stadium, home to the Stanford Cardinal football team.
This is a short film about the area im staying in while working in the United States. The places shown in this video are Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Stanford.
Dearheart
Take a look at you
I know how it feels
Branches full of fruit
Life streaks
And surges all in green
The bounty of the rain
The bounty of the spring
Dearheart
You cant keep them all
I wait with eyes closed
Ill lighten your load
Truth hurts
Remember this:
We are pooling our faith
(You said it)
Asking for my basketful
Shake loose
All your garnet jewels
Whatever sustains me
Gifts and pampers you
Trees drop
Plums in my open mouth
I wait with eyes closed
Paradise my own
Truth hurts
Hold onto this:
We are pooling our faith
(You said it)
Juice bursts
Don't let it drip
We are pooling our faith
