It was yearbook day and we were given an hour to sign each other's yearbooks in the cafeteria. I was president of the class and I played sports. When I sat down at a table, people started to come over to get their yearbooks signed and to sign 1.
Among them, a weak boy with ugly teeth and thick glasses kept shaking. I had seen him around, and I knew he was always laughed at. He seemed2 of himself, and was so pale that it 3us to look at him.
He came up and asked me nervously, “Can you sign this?” I took his yearbook but I didn't know 4 to write. I saw that there was the name “Ricky Sanders” written on the front of it. So I wrote:

I put down the yearbook and turned around to get some signatures from some of my friends when I 5 my yearbook was gone. I saw that Ricky had sat down with my yearbook. “What are you doing?” I asked him. He looked up calmly(平静地) and 6said “Sign!”
My friends broke into a loud laugh, and I saw that he was carefully frying to put a signature in my yearbook. He hadn't even finished the “R” yet. I thought for a while and 7 to let him sign.
It took him nearly five minutes to sign and when I got my yearbook back, there was a very shaky “RICKY”. He hugged(紧抱) his yearbook and8. I couldn't help but smile back at him.
In that moment, my 9 changed completely.
I gave him a high five and suddenly everyone at my table wanted his signature. He was asked politely to write in their yearbooks and the signature 10 of his yearbook were filled up. He was smiling so big that it lit up the whole room.
I changed school the next year, and I never saw Ricky again. However, I will never forget the day that he became the most 11guy in school. Whenever I'm 12, I still look back at that yearbook.

    It was the first day of school. I had a new classmate, a little old lady with a warm smile.

    She said, "Hi, young man! I'm Rose. I'm 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?"

    I said1,"Of course!"

    "Why are you in college at2an age?" I asked.

    She joked, "I'm here to meet a3husband, get married, have children, and then travel around the world."

    "NO, Seriously," I asked

    "I always4of 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 from5.

    At the end of the term we invited Rose to6at our party. I'll never forget what she taught7.

    "We do not stop playing because we are old: we grow8because we stop playing. Here are the 9 of staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every10.You've got to have a dream. When you 11 your dreams, you die! "she said.

    "There is a big12between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow old. That doesn't take any talent or ability, "she added. "But to13, you have to find the chance in change. Have no regrets. We usually don't have regrets for what we did,14rather for things we did not do."

    Finally we graduated from the college with Rose. One week15graduation, she died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.
