As an Academic Advisor at Granite State College in Conway, NH, one of my greatest joys is working with students, assisting them to open new doors in their lives. It is so inspiring to see people of all ages design a better future through adult college education.
A few hours ago, I met with a student who is about to turn 60 and has decided that she wants to get an associate's degree and become a Paraeducator. She had heard that Granite State offered affordable adult college degrees and paraeducator certification.
"I love learning, and I miss being in school!" She stated as we began to talk. She was alive with enthusiasm and her hopes for her future. Her dream is to become a certified Paraeducator, and she feels that her ability to help children will not be hampered by being in her 60's. In fact, her life experience and years raising children will be a significant benefit in the classroom. Her oldest child is 35 and her youngest is 15, so she's had many years to hone her skills!
It is never too late to be a life long learner.
