The Story of Rose

                It is a story about 87 yrs. old woman, who studied college at her age. She meet a guy whom her classmate and became her instant friend. At her age, she loves to dress and became the student icon. Her friend invited her to be their guest in their football banquet. In her speech, going to college is not about how old are you or how young are you. People grow in their own way, people grow older by age, but that’s just a number. What can you do when you’re old? Rose doesn’t like living at home for the whole day and lay down after eating. She wants to have a college education and have her degree. Rose maybe grows old by age but never grow old by education. It is never too late in education, everybody deserve to have their own degree. Being old is not a hindrance of aiming what you what to be. Dreams are forever, it never grow old. After her speech that day, she sings a song entitled “The Rose” she challenges each of the student to study the lyrics.

                One week after her graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. 2000 students attended her funeral, as a tribute to her encouragements and as a good example to everyone that it is never too late to be what you want to be.

EDMARIE'S The Story of Rose

The Story of the Rose

Rose’s life is exceptionally ordinary. Dreaming to finish a degree at the age of 87 is kind of funny but inspiring in the other way. For me, she makes me realize that in dreaming it would be wonderful when you set a goal. I remember a verse in the bible that “ a person who hits at nothing will surely hit it”. Rose’s line that when we lose our dream we are dead, means living at all. Her dream of having a degree was realized like the book I read last year ago, it thought of pursuing my passion and be the best of which I can be, just like Rose, peaceful people are those who live their lives without regrets. Those people who fear death are those people who regrets of not doing things they wished they did.
Rationally speaking, “Life is what we make it”. We have to live life the way we want it to be. We must not stop producing fruitful deeds for it will reap good results. Growing up is far different from growing older. For growing older doesn’t require any ability because we can’t stop time to run and hinder our age. On the other hand, growing up seeks improvement and enhancement and enhance abilities we have inside.
One thing nice about Rose, she died peacefully. Being alive means making choices of how to live a meaningful life. An imperfect person just as I am can no longer go back in the past but I can start from now to make a brand new end. Life is a hope, don’t waste it. God is a fair God. He is done working in our lives, that’s why we’re still alive. Allow him to be part of your life because he truly cares.

EDMARIE'S If I Had my Life to Live All Over Again

If I Had my Life to Live All Over Again

I f I had my life to live all over again I would correct all the mistakes that I’ve made. Especially, to my parents who taught me the true meaning of life and give the things that I’ve wanted. I wish that I was born earlier so by this time I already have the job and support the needs of my younger brother and sisters, and so I am capable of being the eldest.
I f I am given a chance to turn back time I would not waste my time, money and effort to those people who doesn’t care about me. Though there were those people, I don’t have any regrets knowing them because they taught me things and lessons like “we should not trust people that we don’t know, instead know them first before trusting them”.
For life experience is important. Even good or bad experiences, it teaches us how to be a strong person. So if I will be given the chance to live life I would grab all the opportunities, all opportunities that I didn’t grab or I refused on it. Another thing is if I would live life again I would e learning and studying those instruments, especially, musical instrument because living life with music is wonderful. It gives color and life to me as a human and creation of God.

STORY OF ROSE

When I was reading the story of Rose I was amaze because despite of her age she never stops dreaming of having a college education. Even she’s eighty-seven she proves that being old is not an excuse to have an education. Old women never consider herself lack of knowledge and wisdom but to prove that there is always hope. As Rose said “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing”. This phrase means, do not stop dreaming even you are old, don’t stop doing productive things until you don’t reach your goal in life, until you don’t reach your achievement in life. It’s never too late to be all you can possibly be. As the story end I feel sad and pity because to what happen to her. Even though she’s dead, I think Rose is happy, happy because she fulfills her dreams and goal in life. She proves that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.

“IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE ALL OVER AGAIN”
If I had my life to live all over again
I will not be wasting my time.
I would be serious to do things
And make wonderful moments in my life.
Listen to the people who gave me advice
To make me a better person.
If I had my life to live all over again I
go more places I’ve never been before
I am one of those people who never
Step up on an airplane and I want to do it.
If I had my life to live all over again,
I would have talked less and listen more.
