Have you thought about returning to school or entering college for the first time but felt like you were too old? Who said school was just for the 21 and under crowd? Living Life Abundantly is stepping outside of your comfort zone, stepping up to challenges, and living outside of the boxes society tries to place us in.
Going back to school at 40+ may seem intimidating at first, but you are never too old to go back to school.
Nola Ochs graduated from Fort Hays State University with a degree in General studies when she was 95 years old. Mozelle Richardson graduated with a degree in journalism from the University of Oklahoma at age 90.
If they can do it, so can you. Returning to school is an opportunity to:
- Grow professionally.
- Earn more money.
- Avoid being passed up for promotions.
- Learn new skills.
- Change Careers.
- Discover new career opportunities.
- Meet new people.
- Experience personal satisfaction.
- Accomplish educational goals.
- Set an example for children/grandchildren.
The more you know the more you grow, education is key to living life abundantly.
There are many programs and scholarships for non traditional students. My friend Stephanie sent a heads on the AARP Foundation Women’s Scholarship Program. For more information visit: http://www.aarpfoundationwlc.org
