It was the first day of school．I had a new classmate，a little old lady with a warm smile．She said，“Hi，handsome! I'm Rose．I'm 87 years old．Can I give you a hug（拥抱）?” I said heartily，“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．” “No，seriously，” I asked．“I always dreamed of having a college education．Now I'm getting one!” she told me．Over the year，Rose became an icon（偶像）．She easily made friends where she went．She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from other students．At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak 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（幽默）every day．You've got to have a dream．When you lose your dreams，you die!” she said．“There is a big difference between growing old and growing up．Anybody can grow old．That doesn't take any talent（天赋）or ability，”she added．“But to grow up，you have to find the chance in change．Have no regrets（后悔）．We usually don’t have regrets for what we did，but rather for things we did not do．”

One week after graduation，Rose died peacefully in her sleep．She taught us by example that it's never too late to be what you can possibly be．
