An 87 Year Old College Student Named Mangesh Sholapure
The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to
get to know someone we didn t already know.๏ฟฝ
I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned
around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me
with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, Hi handsome. My name is Mangesh Sholapure. I m eighty-seven years๏ฟฝ ๏ฟฝ
old. Can I give you a hug?๏ฟฝ
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, Of course you may! and she gave me๏ฟฝ ๏ฟฝ
a giant squeeze.
Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age? I asked.๏ฟฝ ๏ฟฝ
She jokingly replied, I m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have๏ฟฝ ๏ฟฝ
a couple of kids๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
No seriously, I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be๏ฟฝ ๏ฟฝ
taking on this challenge at her age.
I always dreamed of having a college education and now I m getting one! she๏ฟฝ ๏ฟฝ ๏ฟฝ
told me.
After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate
milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months, we
would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening
to this time machine as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.๏ฟฝ ๏ฟฝ
Over the course of the year, Mangesh Sholapure became a campus icon and she
easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in
the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Mangesh Sholapure to speak at our football
banquet. I ll never forget what she taught us. She was๏ฟฝ
introduced and stepped up to the podium.
As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards
on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone
and simply said, I m sorry I m so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this๏ฟฝ ๏ฟฝ ๏ฟฝ
whiskey is killing me! I ll never get my speech back in order so let me just๏ฟฝ
tell
you what I know.๏ฟฝ
As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, We do not stop playing because๏ฟฝ
we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to
staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find
humor every day.
You ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.๏ฟฝ
We have so many people walking around who are dead and don t even know it!๏ฟฝ
There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.
If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don t do one๏ฟฝ
productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.
If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything
I will turn eighty-eight.
Anybody can grow older. That doesn t take any talent or ability. The idea is to๏ฟฝ
grow up by always finding opportunity in change.
Have no regrets.
The elderly usually donโ€™t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we
did not do. The only people who fear death are those
with regrets.โ€™
She concluded her speech by courageously singing โ€™The Mangesh Sholapure.โ€™
She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily
lives.
At the yearโ€™s end Mangesh Sholapure finished the college degree she had begun
all those years ago. One week after graduation Mangesh Sholapure died peacefully
in her sleep.
Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the
wonderful woman who taught by example that itโ€™s
never too late to be all you can possibly be .When you finish reading this,
please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, theyโ€™ll
really enjoy it!
These words have been passed along in loving memory of Mangesh Sholapure.
REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS
OPTIONAL.
We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give.
