A 90-year-old woman made her dream a reality when she graduated from college. Earning a college degree was something this great-grandmother always wanted to do, and she made it happen. Check out this short video to hear her inspiring and uplifting story!

No matter how many degrees someone obtains, an education will always and forever remain incomplete. There will always be more facts and figures to learn and understand. We’ll never acquire all the knowledge and information that is available. Everyone should remain a learner, regardless of age or stage. We will always have room to learn, grow and improve.

Annette Roberge understands the value and importance of education and the need to be a lifelong learner. The 90-year-old also knows we are never too old to dream and work toward making those dreams a reality. That is precisely what she did when she walked across the stage and accepted her college degree.

In the clip posted on YouTube, Annette explains that she had to put her academic dreams on hold for years. After her husband was killed in the Vietnam War, Annette was left to raise her five children all by herself. Annette put her children’s needs and wants ahead of her own. The “children came first,” Annette said.

The video explains that she discovered something when she attempted to renew and enroll at Southern New Hampshire University. She learned that she had already obtained the required number of credits for an associate’s degree.

“It’s so unreal,” she said. “I know I see it on the wall. I mean, I got it, but it’s just, it’s like still being in dream world.”

Congratulations, Annette! What an incredible and inspiring accomplishment. She is a perfect example to others, showing they are never too old to dream and do something. We never know what we are capable of until we try.
