Belle Granny Gets Full Scholarship
美女奶奶獲得全額獎學(xué)金
Margaret Dunning is not like most 102-year-old people. She is still an active driver! Recently, this “Belle of the Concours (老爺車展上的美人) ” displayed her automotive baby in an antique car show, which made her a celebrity.
瑪格麗特·唐寧和大多數(shù)102歲的老人不一樣。她是個仍然能開車的駕駛員!最近,這位“老爺車展上的美人”在一場老爺車展上展示了她的汽車寶貝,這使她成為了名人。
But the energetic old lady is far from done yet. Recently, Dunning learned she had been given a full scholarship to return to school, nearly 80 years later, to finally earn her business degree. “I’m having a big day,” Dunning said. “It was a complete surprise!”
但是這位精力充沛的老年女士的活動還遠遠沒有結(jié)束。最近,唐寧收到了全額獎學(xué)金的的邀請,在80年后重返學(xué)校,畢業(yè)后將獲得商科學(xué)位。“這是我的大日子,”唐寧說,“完全是個驚喜!”
Auto products manufacturer the FRAM Group decided to help send Dunning back to Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan (密歇根大學(xué)羅斯商學(xué)院) after seeing a story about her lifetime devotion to cars.
汽車產(chǎn)品制造商FRAM集團在看到她一生鐘愛汽車的故事后,決定幫助唐寧回到密歇根大學(xué)羅斯商學(xué)院。
Dunning has been driving for most of her life. She grew up on a farm not far from Henry Ford’s (福特汽車的創(chuàng)始人) residence, and her father taught her to drive at the age of eight. After graduating from high school, Dunning went to the University of Michigan, but was forced to drop out during the Great Depression (美國經(jīng)濟大蕭條時期) to help her widowed mother.
唐寧一生中大多數(shù)時間都在開車。她在離亨利·福特(福特汽車的創(chuàng)始人)住所不遠處的一個農(nóng)場長大,八歲的時候父親就教會她開車。高中畢業(yè)后,唐寧進入密西根大學(xué),卻在美國經(jīng)濟大蕭條時期被迫輟學(xué),回家?guī)椭膯紊砟赣H。
Dunning said she had already planned out her way to the school and she was very excited about the opportunity.“I’m very pleased about it,” she said. “I feel that I’ve been awarded a few years that others do not have, and I am really very happy that I have this beautiful old world to live in.”
唐寧表示,她已經(jīng)計劃好了去學(xué)校的路線,她對擁有這個機會感到十分興奮。“我非常開心,”她說,“我覺得我獲得了其他人所沒有的幾年時間,而且我能在這個美麗而古老的世界中生活真的很開心?!?/div>
It’s a well-deserved honor for a woman who has spent the better part of her own life giving back.
對于一位付出了自己生活中更好的時光的女士來說,這是生活回饋給她的當(dāng)之無愧的榮譽。?
