Taking the long road, Nola Ochs of Kansas will be graduating form Fort Hays State University at the age of 95 making her the oldest college graduate ever. Nola started taking college courses 35 years ago when her husband died and has earned enough credits to now have a degree. Citing a love of learning last fall Nola moved into a one bedroom apartment 100 miles away from her hometown to earn her degree in general studies with an emphasis on history. She hopes to become a storyteller on a cruise ship when she graduates.
Cheers to Nola!

she really didn't want to pay her student loans, knowing that her loans remain in deferment while in school. now, the interest will kill her.
that is, if being old doesn't.
because that's what old people do, they die.
Good to see dreams don't die with age. Good job, Nola!
So I finally made it here and read this post. She is freakin fantastic! Thanks for introducing us to Nola... looking forward to future people of the week!
