I'm someone who never went to university but always thought about it.The only way I 1 was listening to my children talk about their class and all the interesting things they were 2 .University was just a life-long 3 of mine.I just turned sixty-four years old in September.I still thought about that old dream 4 one day when there was an Advanced-Age 5 at the local university.I decided to 6 .
The day finally arrived-my first day of school.As I 7 there, my mind was filled with 8
thoughts, “What am I doing? I'm not smart enough to go to university.The 9 will laugh when they see me in class.I probably won't live long enough to get a 10 .Maybe I should just turn the car around and go home.”
Then, 11 , I saw it! A large billboard on the side of the road with a picture of Kermit the Frog.I 12 a little and read the words next to his picture. “Live your dreams.” Was Kermit speaking me? I didn't turn the car around.
I drove a little 13 on up the highway and there was another 14 .This one had a picture of Albert Einstein with his tongue 15 out.A line read, “As a student, he was no Einstein.” And there was a word in red, “Confidence” .A new attitude was 16 inside me.
I was now 17 the gate of the university and there 18 still another billboard.This one showed a photograph of a proud 19 in a cap and gown.Under the picture was her 20 , Nola Ochs, aged 95.Oldest University Graduate.Below it was the words, “Live Life” .At that moment, my outlook changed completely.
