YALE'S LE ABLY BALANCED SOCIAL LIFE, SCHOOL, LOVE
(CNN)
The body of slain Yale student Annie Le was found Sunday inside the wall of a university basement, the day in which she was to be married to her sweetheart. Named "most likely to be the next Einstein" at her high school, Le certainly was of high academic caliber. But what truly set her apart was her commitment not only to her studies, but her love to her boyfriend Jon Widawsky and her friends. According to the article, "New Haven police spokesman Joe Avery has said Le's killing was not random, and authorities and those familiar with the campus say there are only a handful of people with access to the building where her body was found." The unsettling notion that the killer lives among them has shaken the Yale campus to its core.
The article itself brings a truly human perspective, highlighting Le's passions, not only her achievements. In light of this tragedy, the article's feature-esque style allows the reader to appreciate who Le was as a person, as opposed to simply the victim of another violent crime.
My thoughts are with Le's friends and family.
