| 30. I finished my BA at age 55 |

I missed a lot of opportunities by not having my degree and it was contantly an oppressing thought. When I went back to school I went to a school offering an accelerated degree program, 8 week courses for 3 college credits each. They even had weekend courses you could take. It was great. I loved it.
a year after I got the BA I went back for the MA and took one course a semester. It took me 4 1/2 years but I got there. Two of my grown kids and 3 of my grandchildren were at my graduation. I treasure the experience.
Now I am retired but still work part time. I love having my degrees on my resume after all those years when I had to explain why I didn't have the degree.
