72 year old grandfather graduates!
#1
It doesn't matter how young or old you are, as long as you have that drive and patience to get things done, this is an example! Wow, 50+ years after high school, he finally did it! It's inspirational, especially to his grandkids, as his mother who is 98, was able to experience that excitement along with their family.

Dr. August Black, the TESU 495 professor, got "bored" during Covid and earned a second doctorate at 78. You're never too old !
