When I was at work yesterday, I met this fascinating lady. This woman is at least 70 years old (perhaps even older than that) and a widow. Well, if you have ever dealt with the public, then you know how older people love to talk. It was pretty slow at work, so I stood at the teller window and chatted with her for a few minutes. She proceeded to tell me that she just went back to school. I told her that was great, and asked her what she was going for. She told me she was going back to school for archeology. I couldn't believe that out of all the things she could be going to school for, archeology is what she was studying. I don't think that I had ever met anyone who was in school to become an archeologist. It was hard to believe that she would be going on digs and stuff at her age, but her smile was so bright; that I honestly knew that she had chosen the right field.

I just hope that when I get older, I have her drive. I think it is incredible, that instead of thinking that her life was coming to a close, this woman was grabbing life by the horns and making a new beginning so late in life. It just goes to show that you can do anything that you set your mind to. A motivation for us younger people who may be still dragging our feet through life.
