Interviewer: Last week Janet Rose graduated from South Omaha University with a degree in American literature.There is nothing unusual about that except that Janet is an 81-year-old grandmother. Yesterday we caught up with Janet and asked her to tell us her story. Good morning, Janet. Why did you wait so long to get a degree
Janet: Ha ha! That’s a good question and one that nearly everyone asks me. Well. let me see. I started university back in 1955,but in my first year my mother fell very ill and she couldn’t help my father run the family business any more. So I went home to Texas to take care of her and to help my father. After that I never really thought about going back to study.
Listening material
Interviewer: Why not And what changed your mind
Janet:I thought it was too late. But then five years ago my daughter Candy suggested I go back to school and I jumped at the chance.
Interviewer: How did you feel going back to university after all these years
Janet:I felt a bit nervous at first. I mean, I was surrounded by all these smart young people with their electronic gadgets, and I felt so old. But the students and teachers were kind to me and I soon got used to the classes. They even let me join some of their activities, and I became good friends with some of them. I soon got used to studying, using online resources as well as reading books and articles.It was hard work, but fun.
Interviewer: So, you have just graduated with a degree in American
Literature. How does it feel
Janet: It feels great. I am trying to live my life to the full. I don’t want to sit around at home all day watching daytime TV.
Interviewer: That’s fantastic to hear. Janet, do you have any advice for other senior citizens considering going back to university
Janet: I suggest that if you are thinking of going back to school, do it. You’ll find that studying again opens up a new world of opportunity to you. And remember, you’re never too old to learn.
Interviewer: Thank you for your time, Janet. Finally, what are your plans now
Janet: Oh, didn’t I say I’m starting a master’s degree in the fall.

Life is a long journey and an ongoing process.
