肯尼亚有一位90岁的老太太,她可能会成为世界上最年长的小学生。
A 90-year-old Kenyan grandmother has become the world's oldest primary school student. Priscilla Sitienei, also known as Gogo, is from a small village in Kenya. She is studying at the local elementary school to learn to read and write. Ms Sitienei has spent most of her life working as a midwife, helping to deliver babies. She wants to be able to read and write so she can pass on her midwifery skills and write down the special herbal remedies she uses when she delivers babies. She also wants to be able to read the Bible. Sitienei said she never had a chance to go to school when she was young. She said she knows she is old but hopes she will set an example to younger people. She wants all the children in her village to study.
When Ms Sitienei first tried to enroll at the school, the head teacher David Kinyanjui did not think it was a good idea. Now he is very happy that Gogo is at the school. Mr Kinyanjui said Gogo is "a blessing and a motivator". He added, "I'm very proud of her. She is loved by every pupil. They all want to learn and play with her." He also said, "She is doing well considering her age. I can say I have seen a big difference in this school since she came." Gogo had a message for children everywhere, saying, "I want to say to the children of the world, especially girls, that education will be your wealth." She added, "With education, you can be whatever you want—a doctor, a lawyer or a pilot."

### 文章翻译
肯尼亚有一位90岁的老太太，她可能会成为世界上最年长的小学生。普丽西拉·西蒂内（Priscilla Sitienei），也被称为戈戈（Gogo），来自肯尼亚的一个小村庄。她正在当地的小学学习读书和写字。西蒂内女士一生大部分时间都在担任助产士，帮助接生婴儿。她希望能够读书写字，这样她就可以传授自己的助产技能，并写下她接生时使用的特殊草药方。她还希望能够阅读《圣经》。西蒂内说她年轻时从未有机会上学。她说她知道自己年纪大了，但希望能为年轻人树立榜样。她希望村里所有的孩子都能上学。
当西蒂内女士第一次试图在这所学校注册时，校长大卫·金扬朱伊（David Kinyanjui）认为这不是个好主意。现在他很高兴戈戈在学校里。金扬朱伊先生说戈戈是“（学习的）祝福与动力”。他补充道：“我为她感到非常骄傲。她受到每个学生的喜爱。他们都想和她一起学习、一起玩耍。”他还说：“考虑到她的年龄，她做得很好。我可以说，自从她来到这里，这所学校发生了很大的变化。”戈戈给世界各地的孩子们留了一句话，她说：“我想对全世界的孩子们，尤其是女孩们说，教育将是你们的财富。”她补充道：“有了教育，你们可以成为任何你们想成为的人——医生、律师或飞行员。”
