Being a student is not as easy as it looks like - books, books and books again. There is always a setback such as emotions and influences by the people and things around you that will eventually make you deviate from the right path. Things get worst when suddenly you stumble, not being able to maintain your grades or when suddenly you are down with a fever during the examination week that made you flunk.
Honestly, I had those times when I felt like just giving up, when things get too difficult, or I just couldn't understand a single thing. Sometimes, this would happen due to too much playing around, or too much work, which ever comes first.
Reading the news in yahoo today made me realize that I am lucky enough to be able to actually seek education right now, not 20 or 30 years down the road. There are some less fortunate people who might have other major problems which made them let go of their dreams in pursuing a degree, and those people make my own problems seem like peanuts.
Hazel Soares, a 94 year old woman from California proved that it is never too late to seek education, and nevertheless to make your dream come true.

Just remember, we're never too old. Age is just a set of numbers =) It's the mind that controls the body.
