　　On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't know．I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder(肩膀)．“Hi, girl! My name is Rose, I'm 87 years old．”

　　“Why are you in college at such a young age?” I asked jokingly．

　　“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!”she replied．

　　Rose became a college symbol(象征)this year and she easily on her from the other students．

　　At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football party．I'll never forget what she taught us．

　　At the year's end, Rose finished the college education she had begun all those years ago．One week after graduation Rose did peacefully in her sleep．
