96 Year Old woman targets to finish school before her 100th Birthday

WOW: 96 Year Old woman targets to finish school before her 100th Birthday.

Guadalupe Palacios, a Mexican 96 year old woman have revealed that she hopes to finish her high school (secondary school) on her 100th birthday.

Palacios revealed this on Monday during her first day in High school.

Revealing how excited she was on her first day in school, she said “I feel ready to give it my all. Today is a marvelous day,”

She indeed gave it her best as she wore the school uniform of a white polo shirt with a black skirt and her own personal touch: a pink sweater.

About Palacios: the 96 year High School Studnet.

Palacios grew up in poverty in an indigenous village and spent her childhood helping her family farm corn and beans instead of going to school.

As an adult, she went to work selling chickens at market, married twice and had six children.

Along the way, she picked up arithmetic, but never learned to read and write.

When she turned 92, she said, she decided it was time, and enrolled in a literacy program.

“Now I can write letters to my boyfriends,” she said with a laugh.

But she did not stop there: In 2015, she enrolled in a primary school program for adult learners.

In less than four years, she completed both primary and middle school.

But there was no adult learning program for high school — so she decided to enroll in a regular public school, with classmates eight decades younger.

Already, she is looking beyond high school: She would like to be a kindergarten teacher someday.
