I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a ?” I laughed and responded, then followed a giant squeeze. “ come that are you in college at such an innocent age?” I asked. “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids...” I was what it was that motivated her to be taking on this at her age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I it!” Later, we became friends.

Rose became a campus celebrity and she easily made friends she went. On one Rose was invited to speak at our football banquet. Her prepared cards dropped before she_ the speech. A little , she simply her throat and began, “We do not stop playing we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are certain secrets to stay , being happy and achieving success. You’ve got to have a dream. When you your dreams, you die.”…

At the end of the year Rose finished her college education. One week after graduation Rose died in her sleep. Over two thousand college students her funeral in honr of the wonderful woman who taught by that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.
