I just read this article about a 95 year old who has 15 hours of credits left before she graduates from college, I love this! What do you think of this? Here is a link to the article http://news.aol.com/strange/story/_a/95-year-old-preps-for-college-finals/n20061120175009990026?cid=936

That is cool. I believe that you are as young as you make yourself.

So do I. I think all the time that I am younger than I actually am, because I don't feel my age :)

I AM ALSO HAPPY TO HEAR STORIES LIKE THIS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD FOR AN EDUCATION.

That is really cool. I admire Mrs. Ochs for persisting in this lifelong dream. I knew a lady who started and finished college in her 70s. She had always wanted to go to college, but she got married and was busy raising her children. After she was alone, she decided to pursue her dream, even though she knew she'd never be working to use what she learned. These ladies are such an example for the rest of us!

I just love the idea of the pursuit of knowledge with no gains to be made finacially. I think it is a inspiration that someone would want to pursue such a goal just for ones self.
