Virginia Hislop left her master’s program at Stanford in 1941 as her then-fiancé was being called up to serve in World War II. 83 years later her son-in-law contacted Stanford to find out the program no longer required a thesis to graduate and Hislop had all the needed credits for her degree. KNTV’s Garvin Thomas reports.

She is setting a great example that it is never too late to do anything. To all of the haters, go buy a personality. She has more balls than any of you haters have.

This made me cry. I am applying for acceptance into a masters programme in my country. This gave me inspiration with or without it I am going to live life purposefully. Thank you for this post.
