【导读】常言道:学无止境,看看这位老太太是怎样做的吧。
The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know.
I stood up to look around, when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with smile that lit up her entire being. "Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked. She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids..." "No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me. After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us.
“You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.
