101岁的库伯先生多年前上了高中，但是因为没有完成学业而没有拿到毕业证。80多年后，他终于圆梦，获得了毕业证。

After waiting more than 80 years, Merrill Pittman Cooper finally received his high school diploma . Cooper, 101, attended Storer College in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, from 1934 to 1938, but dropped out during his senior year when his family moved to Philadelphia for financial reasons, Jefferson County Schools said in a statement .

在等了80多年后，梅里尔·皮特曼·库珀终于拿到高中文凭。现年101岁的库珀 (Cooper) 于1934年至1938年就读于西弗吉尼亚州哈珀斯费里 (Harpers Ferry) 的斯托尔学院 (Storer College)，但由于经济原因，他的家人搬到费城时辍学了，杰斐逊县学校在一份声明中说。

Storer College was established in 1865 to serve newly freed slaves only after the Civil War. The school was one of the only educational resources for Black residents of West Virginia. It served more than 7,000 students before closing in the mid-1950s. At Storer College, Cooper studied Latin, biology, history, English, and mathematics.

Storer学院成立于1865年，仅在内战之后为新释放的奴隶服务。这所学校是西弗吉尼亚州黑人居民唯一的教育资源之一。在20世纪50年代中期关闭之前，它为7,000多名学生提供了服务。在Storer学院，Cooper学习了拉丁语、生物学、历史、英语和数学。

In 2018, after a long and accomplished career in the transportation industry, Cooper visited the school, which is now part of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. There, he expressed to family members his regret over not earning a diploma. To help him realize his dream, his family reached out to park staff, who worked with local, regional and state partners to honor the over-100 -year-old man with a ceremony and diploma on March 19.

2018年，在运输行业经历了漫长而有成就的职业生涯后，库珀参观了这所学校，它现在是哈珀斯费里国家历史公园的一部分。在那里，他向家人表达了他对没有获得文凭的遗憾。为了帮助他实现梦想，他的家人联系了与当地工作的公园工作人员，地区和州合作伙伴将于3月19日以仪式和文凭向这位100多岁的男子致敬。
