It's never too late to learn!
Remember how our parents used to lecture us about the importance of school when we were younger? We probably didn’t give it much thought back then but we’ve probably developed greater appreciation of that advice as we grew older. Besides, having a good education can often be the key to opening opportunities in the real world. As Benjamin Franklin once put it, “an investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
The unfortunate fact, however, is that not everyone gets the chance to go to school as children. It happens everywhere for different reasons and so it’s really heartwarming when we see grown adults, especially those in their golden years, making the decision to still pursue education later in their lives. These people are truly inspiring and our hats are off for them. Indeed, they’ve proven that age should never be an obstacle when it comes to reaching one’s dreams.
Check out the amazing photo compilation below and see for yourself:
“Margaret Thome Bekema, 97, never graduated from Grand Rapids Catholic Central High in 1936 like she was supposed to. Instead, in 1932, she was forced to leave school to take care of her siblings and her mother who was sick with cancer. However, thanks to a distant relative, Bekema recently received an honorary diploma, just 79 years after she was supposed to graduate.”
This is my mom and older brother. I am extremely proud of both of them. I am especially proud of my mom. She is a mother of 8 and managed to go back to school while working full time. She inspires me and everyone around her to work hard and never give up . I hope this will show others that it is never too late to back to school.
“My mum just graduated with a first class honours degree after leaving school at sixteen to have me, and being diagnosed dyslexic as an adult, and I think that’s pretty awesome.”
As these inspiring people have shown us all, it’s definitely never too late to learn and reach for our dreams.
