Question

【題目】 On the first day of college, our teacher asked us to get to know someone who we didn't know.

I stood up to look around when a hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find an old lady. She smiled at me and said, "Hello, my name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old." I was surprised and asked, "Why are you in college?"

"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me. After class we walked together and shared what we had. We became good friends.

Rose became a campus icon. In our school, almost everyone loved her and studied from her. She easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the term, we invited Rose to make a speech. I'll never forget what she taught us. She said, "There are some secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it! There is a great difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.”

One week after graduation Rose died peacefully. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral. They came to honor the wonderful woman who taught that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.
