Helping Others Get an Education

When we think of philanthropists, we usually think of the very rich and famous, like Andrew

Carnegie. However, Matel Dawson, a forklift driver in Michigan, is an ordinary man who has done extraordinary things.

Dawson started （开始工作） at Ford Motor Company in 1940 for $1.15 an hour.

By working hard, saving carefully, and investing his money wisely,（通过努力工作、小心存钱和明智的投资）he has become rich. But he doesn’t care about （在乎拥有）expensive cars or taking fancy vacations. Instead of his money on himself（没有把钱花在自己身上）, he enjoys giving it away. Since 1955, he has donated more than $1 million for college scholarships to help poor students who want to get an education.

Why does Dawson insist on （坚持给） his money away to college students? One

reason is that he did not have the opportunity （完成学业的机会）. He had to drop out of school after the seventh grade to help support his poor family（以帮助养家）. He has always regretted not （后悔没有获得教育）. “I （建议孩子获得） a good education,” he says. Also, he learned about giving from his parents. He watched them work hard, save, and help others（努力工作、存钱、帮助他人）less fortunate. His mother made Dawson （迫使Dawson承诺） to always give something back. He is grateful to his parents for teaching him the importance of helping others.

Dawson doesn’t plan on （计划改变） his lifestyle. He is used to （习惯于驾驶） his old car and （居住） in a one-bedroom apartment. And he doesn’t plan to stop （计划停止工作） as long as he is able. “It keeps me going, （当我知道） I’m helping somebody.”
