A
Many schools across the US hold graduation ceremonies this time of year. In some schools, even 5 and
6-year-olds
observe
their
graduation
from
kindergarten.
And
so
can
older
people,
much
older.
Meet
70-year-old Jerry Reid, who just graduated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He earned a
bachelor鈥檚 degree.
Mr. Reid might not look like the average college student; his hair is definitely grayer. But still Jerry
Reid鈥檚 age is easy to forget, other UV
A students know him as one of their own.
Mr. Reid sat into the 鈥淗oo Crew,鈥?nbsp;a group that cheers loudly for the school at sports events. He also
joined a men's group on campus. He sang drinking son
gs along with many other students. Mr. Reid鈥檚 school
friends say they can talk to him just about anything.
About
a
half
century
ago,
in
his
20s,
Mr.
Reid
was
not
in
school.
Instead,
he
was
racing
cars
and
chasing girls. But he says his friend Bill invited him to UV
A parties.
鈥淏ill told me what a terrible life I had unless I came up here and went to school with him,鈥?nbsp;said Reid.
That was in 1963. Jerry Reid says it took him 48 years to take that advice. In 2011, he entered college.
UV
A Professor Luke Wright says Mr. Reid influences students. He opened the minds of the young adults.
The
teacher
says
Mr.
Reid
showed
them
that
life
does
not
end
at
40.
Instead,
the
70-year-old
college
graduate believes that getting older can be the beginning of a dream.
鈥淩emember that path that you left waits for you. It鈥檚 there. It鈥檚 yours. All you must do is to get out of
your own way and get back to it. And, that's exactly what I did,鈥?nbsp;said Reid.
Mr. Reid says that he and his wife Susan now would take some time off to enjoy his college degree.
Then, he鈥檒l return to UV
A to begin studying for his graduate degree.
21. Which of the following is true of Mr. Reid?
A. He was laughed at by other students.
B. He was interested in study in his youth.
C. He enlarged the views of young people.
D. He got his graduate degree at the age of 70.
