- When I started college, my mother enrolled, too; she was 42 years old.
- She always wanted to be a teacher, so she studied hard while raising her three other children.
- When she graduated and became a teacher, she became the woman I always knew she could be.
The year I went to college, my mother did too.
She enrolled at 42 years old after having three children.
