Some remarkable lessons from her are:

  • You have to laugh and find humor every day.
  • You’ve got to have a dream.
  • When you lose your dream, you die.
  • The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.
  • We do not stop playing because we are old, we grow old because we stop playing.

Rose was 87 when she got her college education.  How would you react if you meet a student like her in school? Some may criticize her for her age while others might just be impressed and inspired.  Old age never stopped her in achieving her dreams.  This only tells us that it is never late to pursue our dreams.  We should not be ashamed to do things just because we feel that it is no longer appropriate for our age.  If you ever get on this situation, just think of Rose and her story.
