震驚!82歲爺爺和18歲孫女成爲大學校友!

The first day of college can be nerve wracking for freshman however one Texas girl had one of her life long friends she could rely on for company-her grandpa.

大學開學的第一天，新生們往往會惴惴不安，然而下面這位來自德克薩斯的女孩卻有一位她可以依賴一生的朋友的陪伴——那就是她的爺爺。

Melanie Salazar, entered Palo Alto College in San Antonio, Texas, for the first time already knowing one of the most popular men on campus, 82-year-old Rene Neira.

梅蘭妮·薩拉查考上了德克薩斯州聖安東尼奧市的帕羅奧多大學，這也是她第一次在入學之前就已經與學校裏面最受歡迎的人結識了，那人正是82歲的雷內·尼拉。

The teenager's grandpa has been studying for an associate degree in economics at the college and expects to obtain his degree after this semester.

這位女孩的爺爺一直在這所大學經濟學專業攻讀副學士學位，他希望這學期結束後可以順利拿到學位。

Neira has been studying economics for as long as Salazar can remember, and felt it was totally normal to be attending the same college as him.

打薩拉查記事起，尼拉就一直在讀經濟學，他覺得跟孫女上同一所大學是一件再正常不過的事情。

The 18-year-old was therefore surprised that a Twitter post she published of her and her studious grandpa went viral with over 2,000 re tweets.

這個18歲的女孩完全沒有想到，她發佈的一條有關自己和學霸爺爺的推特能迅速被傳開，到現在已經被轉發超過2000次。

'It's been awesome knowing how something that seems so normal to me is so out of the ordinary and extraordinary to everyone else,' Salazar told CBS News.

薩拉查在接受CBS採訪時表示：“於我十分正常的事情對他人來說竟然如此不一般、如此特別，知道這個之後我覺得真是酷斃了。”

Salazar, who is studying for a liberal arts major, said her grandpa is popular due to his down-to-earth nature and is first to crack a joke with classmates, despite being decades older than most of them.

現在在讀文科的薩拉查表示，爺爺因爲踏實的性格在學校很受歡迎。儘管比班裏大多數人都要年長好幾十歲，他也是第一個跟同學開玩笑逗樂子的人。

'I think people are very drawn to him because this is an every day person -- an 82-year-old person-who isn't giving up on their education. He's determined to get his degree' Salazar said.

薩拉查說道：“我在想，人們之所以會對爺爺這麼感興趣，大概就是因爲，雖然他只是一個再普通不過的人——一位82歲的老者——卻還是沒有放棄繼續學習。他下定決心一定要取得學位.”
