I'm 87 years old. Can I give you a hug? ” I said, “Of course!” “Why are you in college atan age?” I asked. She joked, “I'm here to meet ahusband, get married, have children, and then travel around the world.” “No, seriously,” I asked. “I alwaysof having a college education. Now I'm getting one!” she told me. After a year, Rose became popular. She easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from. At the end of the semester we invited Rose toat our party. I'll never forget what she taught. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow because we stop playing. Here are theof staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every. You've got to have a dream. When youyour dreams, you die!” she said. “There is a bigbetween growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow old. That doesn't take any talent or ability,” she added. “But to, you have to find the chance in change. Have no regrets. We usually don't have regrets for what we did ,rather for things we did not do.” Finally we graduated from the college with Rose. One weekgraduation, she died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.
