这个18岁的女孩完全没有想到，她发布的一条有关自己和学霸爷爷的推特能迅速被传开，到现在已经被转发超过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.

'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.
萨拉查说道：“我在想，人们之所以会对爷爷这么感兴趣，大概就是因为，虽然他只是一个再普通不过的人——一位82岁的老者——却还是没有放弃继续学习。他下定决心一定要取得学位.”
