A Visit to India

Hi, my name is Isabelle and I am 8 years old. Today, I want to share with you about my recent visit to Trinity College Dublin. It was such an exciting adventure!

  1. First, we visited the famous library at Trinity College where Ivana Bacik once studied. The library was so big, with shelves reaching up to the ceiling. I felt like I was in a magical world surrounded by books!
  2. Next, we went to see the Book of Kells, a beautiful old book with colorful illustrations. I learned that it was made a long time ago by monks. It was amazing to see how they created such intricate designs!
  3. After that, we walked around the campus and saw the Campanile, a tall tower that rang bells. It was fun to listen to the bells chime and imagine what it would be like to study at Trinity College.
  4. Then, we visited the Science Gallery, where there were interactive exhibits about science and technology. I loved playing with the hands-on activities and learning new things.
  5. Lastly, we stopped by the dining hall, which looked like something out of a movie! The long tables and high ceilings made me feel like I was in a magical castle.
