Reply #10: Let me tell you a quick story: [View All]

I'll cut out a bit of it and jump right to the relevant part:

After spending some time at one school, I transfered to another and I ended up going to school with my mother who was attending college for the first time in her 50's. It was an all women's college, and a LOT of the women in my program were a lot older than me. For a while, all of us felt stupid because of the other people there. But we got over it. Some of the women I met there were just divorced, had toddlers, teenagers, grandkids, or were expecting their first kids. Some were like me, traditional college aged students with nothing but our selves to worry about. We all wound up learning a lot from each other, but one of the best things we learned was that nobody should be discounted because of their age or experience.

Hang in there, work hard, and don't let silly things like age or god forbid hair color prevent you from getting the education you want and deserve. :hi:
