She said, “Hi, young man! I"m Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug? ”
I said , “Of course!”
“Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked.
She joked, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around the world.”
“No, seriously,” I asked.
“I always dreamed of having a college education. Now I’m getting one!” she told me.
After a year, Rose became . She could easily get along well with others wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from others.
At the end of the term we invited Rose to at our party. I’ll never forget what she taught us.
“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets of staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you your dreams, you die!” she said.
“There is a big between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow old. That doesn’t take any talent,” she added. “But to grow up, you have to find the chance in change. Have no regrets(遗憾). We usually don’t have regrets for what we did, rather for things we did not do.”
Finally we graduated from the college with Rose. One week after graduation, she died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.

One day, Jim woke up at 3 in the morning as usual. When Joy was sleeping alone, Jim left their little house to deliver newspapers. As he did so, he found something unusual. One man was sitting in front of Jim’s house. Jim was so surprised that he stopped to look at him closely. It was an icy morning and he looked very old.
The poor old man didn’t have anything to cover himself with. Jim went into his house to get the old man a blanket(毯子).

It’s a chicken.” The young man kept saying that it was an eagle. He said to the farmer, “Sir, that is an eagle! I can proveit to you.” The farmer laughed, “Sure, go ahead.”
The young man then pulled that big bird out and climbed a high mountain. He held the bird in his hands and said, “You are an eagle, fly!” But the bird failed. The young man tried the second time.
