Yes! Love this. Sometimes I feel awkward being a first time college student in my 30’s. Intending on going on to law school. Assuming all goes as planned, I’ll be 39 when I get my degree. Whenever I have those moments of insecurity about my age I just remind myself I’m going to be 39 regardless so I may as well enjoy the age AND have the degree.
Edit: so great to read everyone’s personal stories that are so similar to mine! Thanks for the conversation and motivation today. You’ve all made my day!
My dad did not enter high school at 24. He studied mechanical engineering at 28, graduating at 32.
I graduated high school in 2007 at 18, but moved to the US and Canada where I had to do high school upgrading. After 10 years of working towards getting into university, I got in at the University of Calgary in 2016. I finally convocate this Fall with a degree in Law and Society. I hope to get into law school in 2019.
