When Susan White went back to high school a couple of years ago, she never had any thought about actually getting a high school diploma.

“I just wanted to learn more,” she said. But when she found out that many of her classmates were planning to graduate, Mrs. White recalled(回顾), “I said my young friends can graduate from high school, so can I.”

“I don’t like anyone dropping out of school,” she said. “It makes me mad when a person decides to leave school, because future generations(后代) will have to know even more than we do in order to survive(生存)”.Mrs. White sets a good example of lifelong study!
