I was curious(好奇) what might have encouraged her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a university education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. We became friends.

And Rose easily made friends wherever she went.At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. I’ve learned a few 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.”“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older.
