  在大学辍学81年后,一位101岁的老人计划和她的孙女一起在美国大学毕业。

  萨拉·辛普金斯(Sarah Simpkins)刚刚在弗吉尼亚州切斯特的亮点社区学院(Brightpoint Community College)完成了第一学期的幼儿教育课程。

  20岁时,怀了第一个孩子后,她从南卡罗来纳哥伦比亚的艾伦大学辍学。

  莎拉后来结婚了,生了12个孩子,但她告诉WWBT,重返校园“从来没有离开过我的想法”。

  96岁时,她从纽约的布鲁克林搬到了弗吉尼亚州,与孙女哈莉玛·谢泼德-克劳福德(Halimah Shepherd-Crawford)住在一起。哈莉玛现在也就读于光明点高中,预计将在同一时间毕业。

  由于萨拉的年龄,哈莉玛在课程的某些方面帮助她。

  她解释说:“我研究作业,向她解释,然后她给我答案。”

  “我是她的手和眼睛,但这是她的大脑。她仍然非常敏锐。”

  明年5月,当这对祖母和孙女拿到毕业证书时,莎拉就已经102岁了。

  谈到再次学习的愿望,萨拉说:“这是我必须要做的事情。我非常、非常感激上帝让我能做到这一点。”

  弗吉尼亚州1974年的《高等教育法》允许60岁以上的人注册高等教育课程,以获得学分或旁听课程,而无需支付学费。

  萨拉说她“享受每一步”,“和其他学生在一起”。

  这位前半职业保龄球手说,她最喜欢的课程包括周二和周四的面对面艺术课程。

  “当我去做作业时,这很容易。“小菜一碟,”她说,然后大笑起来。

  当被问及她长寿的秘诀时,萨拉说她的生活方式很简单——任何时候都保持快乐和快乐。

  她还说,她从不做那么长远的计划,喜欢“活在当下”。

  哈利玛说,她的祖母一直是一个鼓舞人心的人。

  她补充道:“这很特别,因为我们俩会一起结束,我们会一起走过舞台。”

  “这让我们更加努力地工作。这就是我们的动力。我们要一起做。我们会一起完成的。”

  今年3月,101岁的体育老师玛吉·布朗在毕业60年后终于获得了学位,她的课程曾因二战期间的导弹而中断。

  上世纪三四十年代,玛吉在师范学院学习时没有拿到学位,但现在她拿到了最重要的那张纸。
