　　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(文凭).

　　“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(回忆) “I said my young friends can graduate from high school so can I.”

　　She seems to have been right. As soon as she completes a history course Mrs White will graduate next month. And when she does she will enter the record books as the oldest person ever to graduste from high school in the United States.

　　Mrs white is 98 years old; and nobody who has completed high school at an older age.

　　Mrs White dropped out of school(退学)in the 10th grade but her ability to learn has obviously not been dulled (减弱) by the 80 year layoff(终止活动). Since going back to her sutdies she has kept up a straigt A record that is the highest possible.

　　Now that she is about to get a diploma Mrs White has become a strong believer in getting a good education.

　　“I don’t like anyone dropping out of school ”she said.“It make me mad when a person decides to leave school because future generations will have to know even more than we do in order to survive (生存).”
