美语听力素材:越战老兵终于完成高中学业

Source: 恒星英语学习网    2016-06-14   English BBS   Favorite  

69-year-old Larry Crotts was supposed to graduate from the Berkley Michigan High School with the class of 66, but he was otherwise engaged, having joined the Navy to fight in the Vietnam War.
When he got out of the service, he got his GED, but that wasn't good enough for his mother:
“I called her and I says, Mom I've got my GED, she said that's not a diploma.”
He promised his mother he'd graduate high school.
So called Berkely High School.
They made him hit the books in order to qualify.
And finally, walk across the stage, tear in his eye, to at long last get his diploma.
