When I began my freshman year of college at the age of fifty, I was scared and felt frustrated by the experience. It seemed as if I didn’t blend in （融入）with my classmates, and I found myself struggling academically. I searched to find some help in the college, but wasn’t able to find much.
My experience made me realize that there was a need for a group who could help the non-traditional students become successful and be better used to college life. I worked to help ESU (educational service unit) create such a group. We have to deal with study, family and our jobs at the same time. I wanted to provide resources to help make the change easier and less scary than my own experience was.
The group I set up has now grown to over seventy members who help old students and support one another. We’re currently working on a program to provide free babysitting for any college student that might need childcare. This would make things like studying in the library during the final weeks
much easier.
Helping to found this student organization makes me feel wonderful inside. I would love to know that by forming this group, it has helped so many non-traditional students on their college journey. Success can be measured in many different ways. I measure my success by helping others and giving back when I can. My grandmother often told me the world would be a better place if we cared about and helped each other. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care—show them your care. 25.

Captain Henry, a 98-year-old American retired fisherman, has become a
first-time author, having written and published his autobiography in a Fisherman’s Language after learning to read at the age of 91.
Mr. Henry spent most of his life without even his closest family members knowing he was illiterate (不识字的). Forced to quit school in the third grade to take odd jobs, he kept the secret close to his chest, only telling his late wife. Henry’s granddaughter, Marlisa, told reporters how he used tricks, like waiting for others to order at restaurants first, to avoid the issue.
A family dispute in his nineties, she said, aroused his desire for education. “He signed a document he could not read about where he was going to live,” Marlisa said. Starting with his name, he eventually moved on to the ABC’s and children’s books. He put them down since his wife fell ill. After the tragic loss of his wife, he went back to reading and began to log his life. He wrote about his family’s voyage from Portugal to the US, how he went on to captain a boat, and his many journeys at sea.
His life stories have become so popular that nearly 800 copies were sold in the first two weeks after the book’s release. One thousand more have been printed as requests for the book flood in as far as Germany. And now even Hollywood producers have approached Mr. Henry about buying the rights to his life stories for a big screen adaptation.
The family also now has a book agent and a deal in the works to publish a second edition. Meanwhile, the family says they are reconnecting and closer than ever as a result of Henry’s late-life efforts. “Everyone has a story, and it teaches that when you’re down, never give up.” Marlisa said. 28．When did Henry begin writing his life story?
A. After his wife passed away. B. Before his wife passed away. C. When he was at the age of 91.
