I met Rose, my new classmate, on the first day of college. To my surprise, she was already 87 years old. "Why are you in college at such a young age?" I joked. "I'm here to meet a rich man, get married, have two children, and then retire and travel." She answered.
Like young students, Rose was outgoing, kind and helpful. Soon she became a superstar in our college.
At the end of the term, Rose was invited to give us a speech. I will never forget what she said to us, "There are only four secrets to staying young and achieving success."
"First, you have to laugh and find humor(幽默感) every day. Then, you need to have a dream. Next, find any chance to change yourself. Finally, people shouldn't have regrets(遗憾) for things they didn't do."
Over 2 000 students went to her funeral(葬礼) to express their love to the wonderful woman.
The great woman didn't live in this world any longer, but she gave us an unforgettable lesson in life. That is—Don't you think so?
