94岁最老大学毕业生

A 94-year-old man will be one of the oldest graduates in the West Virginia University（西弗吉尼亚大学）history when he gets his diploma Sunday. 

Anthony Brutto studied on and off for 75 years. There were always many things stopping him from going on his study. But he never gave up. He believed himself and went to school as soon as he got time. Time flies, he never thought him an old man, he knew that he was a student of West Virginia University, he had to graduate.

Brutto first became a student of the university in 1939. At that time, $50 was enough for a student to go to the university. But in 1942, he left the university and became a soldier in the army. At the end of World War II（二战）, he went home. In 1946, he went to the university again and wanted to go on his study. He didn’t finish the study because his wife was ill, and he had to look after her.
