She said she wanted to 67 years ago, but life, work and marriage delayed her plans. Lanette Oulette received her degree from Brevard Community College in Melbourne during graduation ceremonies Saturday
Way to go!:clap: :clap:

I was curious to know what her degree was in...it didn't say in the article.
I wonder who would hire someone that age? I guess maybe she was just in it for the education and not necessarily for an occupation. That takes alot of determination!:clap: Oh gosh now I have Dr. Seuss syndrome!:D

Yeah Pokie, but she is not through yet. She said she is going on for her Master's degree. That is determination. I hope she makes it.:clap: :clap:

Great achievements, but they just seem like a waste somehow. I can't imagine where she would actually use these degrees except to show off to friends and family.

Although, I am very impressed that someone her age is so resistant to senility that she is capable of earning a college degree, especailly in an age of education that is far beyond her own.
