I thought I was something getting my bachelor's but a friend beat me by a mile. After years of trying and 4 failed attempts she finally got her high school diploma. Now I am sure some cynical folks might laugh about the 4 attempts but I am in awe. Most people wouldn't have stuck it out and tried again. Most would have given up but she didn't. Compared to her, my accomplishment is small. Her motivation, and accomplishment, humbles me.
Her motivation was her grandchildren. She told me she didn't want them to think she's stupid. I don't think they will. I think they'll see their grandma as someone who'll keep trying when she wants something even when the odds are stacked against her. I keep seeing the smile on her face when she told me about it. She is so proud of her accomplishment and I am proud for her.
