“Why are you in college at such an a小题3:, Rose?” I asked her. “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have several children and t小题4:,” she answered jokingly. I was interested in what has made her take on this challenge (挑战) at her age. “In fact, I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting o小题5:.” she told me. Later, we became friends.
At the end of the term, she gave a talk to our class. I’ll never forget what she said. She cleared her throat (嗓子) and b小题6:, “We do not stop w小题7:because we are young; we grow old because we stop. Do you hope to stay young, be happy, and become s小题8:? Do you have a dream? I had a dream of going to college. It almost took me all my lifetime, but h小题9:I am. Never lose your dreams and never give up.” We were all moved by Rose’s words. And I still remember her words in all my life, so I continue my dreams and try my best to a小题10:them.
