The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know a new classmate. I       to look around when a gentle hand       my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little       lady looking up at me with a smile.
She said, “Hi. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and       responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.
“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent      ?” I asked. “I always       having a college education and now I’m getting      !” she told me.
Later, we became close friends. Every day we would leave class together and she       her wisdom and experience with me. Over the
     of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she       made friends wherever she went.
At the       of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet(宴会). I’ll       forget what she taught us. When she was introduced, frustrated and a little embarrassed, she cleared her
     and said, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we
     old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying
    , being happy, and achieving success. You have to       and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you       your dreams, you die.”
One week after graduation Rose died       in her sleep. Many college students attended her funeral in tribute to(悼念)the wonderful woman who taught       example that it’s never too       to be all you can possibly be.
