In Their Own Words: Deena Beydoun

When asked, “Do you think it is possible for fear to dominate the universe? Why, or why not?”  Deena Beydoun, an Honors Language Arts student, replied, “I believe that it’s possible [for fear to dominate the universe], but it would not be a long-lasting universe.  Fear only grows in the dark, and a world cannot thrive without light.” And, as Wiesel states in his Nobel Lecture “Hope, Despair and Memory,”  that light is hope.
