New Inspirational True Stories

I've got some more inspirational stories to prove that it's never too late to accomplish your goals and that virtually anything is possible.

First up is the story of an aspiring student that attends Fort Hays State University in Kansas. Nola Ochs graduates next month with a general studies degree specializing in history. What makes Nola different from all of the other students graduating next month?

Well, a few things make her unique. First, she started acquiring her degree in 1972, after her husband died. Second, she is 95 years old. This makes her the oldest college student in the world to graduate. Last, she is graduating with her 21-year-old granddaughter.

If that doesn't define persistence, spunk, patience, and determination, I don't know what does. Read the entire story here

I will post my second story later. Until then, keep your head up.
