Oseola McCarty
Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999,Oseola McCarty,an elderly cleaning lady passed away in the little wooden frame house where she had lived and worked most of her life. It may seem like an ordinary end to a humble life,but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.
In the summer of 1995,McCarty gave $150,000,most of the money she had saved throughout her life,to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown.The money was to help other African Americans through university. She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to dean and iron for money which she would then save.
She led a simple, frugal(节俭的)existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs. Her bank also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.
When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the opportunity to go to university. She had wanted to become a nurse, but had to leave school to look after ill relatives and work. When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied, "I’m giving it away so that children won’t have to work so hard, like I did. ” After news of her donation hit the media,over 600 donations were made to the scholarship fund. One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who gave a billion dollars.
She didn’t want any fuss (小题大做)made over her gift, but the news got out and she was invited all over the United States to talk to people. Wherever she went,people would come up to her to say a few words or to just touch her.She met the ordinary and the famous, President Clinton included. In the last few years of her life,before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards: she was honoured by the United Nations and received the Presidential Citizen’s Medal. Despite having no real education, she found herself with two honorary doctorates (博士学位):one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University. Her generosity (慷慨)was clearly an inspiration to many and proof that true selflessness does exist.
She managed to save so much money because _____.
