5.On the first day of college,I was looking around when I heard a gentle voice,"Hi,girl!My name is Lisa,I'm 87years 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.
Lisa became a college symbol this year and she was easily recognized from the other students.
At the end of the semester(學(xué)期)we invited Lisa to speak at our basketball party.I'll never forget what she taught us.
"We don't stop playing because we are old,we grow old because we stop playing.There are
only two secrets of staying young,being happy and achieving success.You have to laugh and find humor every day.You've got to have a dream.When you lose your dreams,you die!"she said.
"Growing up doesn't mean growing older.If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for
one full year and don't do anything,you will turn 20years older.If I'm 87years old,and stay in bed for a year,and never do anything,I'll turn 88.Anybody can grow older,but every minute counts for young people."she added.
She ended her speech by singing The Song of Rose.She inspired(激勵)each of us to study the lyrics(歌詞)and live them out in our daily lives.
At the year's end,Lisa finished the college education she had begun all those years ago.One week after graduation Lisa died peacefully in her sleep.
