A woman got her graduation degree at the age of 100. The name of woman is Thelma Dayes. She wants to complete her study at young age but due to some cirumstance she was not able to complete. Dayes had studied till 8th grade and she always felt sorry that she hasnt studied further. She had written in one interview that she likes to complete her graduation and school supretendent of Texas had read it and helped her to complete the graduation. She has been fecilated with Gown and Hat and given a degree. So its proved that their is no age for study. CHeers.

Stories like this are such an inspiration. It seems as though an education is something that everyone deserves and yet many years ago there were circumstances that interferred with it so much. I am proud of her for continuing her education and getting her diploma.

It seems that today more people can have longer lives. My college's grandpa is already 99 years old this year. He can still go out to the park by himself. However, it is very interesting that his diet is not so healthy. He likes eating salty thing. But he is still healthy. So sometimes it can not really tell why.
I love China

That's really great.
She was able to fulfill her dream.
This is one great example that dream is not too far for those who really dreamed and believed.

what an inspiration Thelma is! You are truly never too old, or too set in your ways, to learn something new. She has really demonstrated how important education and perseverance can be. And thank you for telling us about this inspiring woman--great discussion topic!

It is so amazing and it is also so interesting. It appreciable thing that at the age of 100 the lady does not lose hope for learning something. I heard this first time in my life. It is certainly an inspiration to the people those who want to learn something in their life.
