Education, like love, is for all ages. No matter how old you are 5 or 85, if you feel the urge to know, you can only applaud. Let me introduce you to Monique Trotter, 77-year-old graduate of the high school.
In her youth Mrs. Trotter left school because her study is not given. Her teacher believed then, another girl, quite frankly, narrow-minded. When Monique was 14, her parents put it before a choice: either she goes to school or starts working. She chose the latter.
Over the years, the woman has tried many jobs, traveled all over the country, met my husband and started a large family. But this time it seemed to her that she missed something. Monique felt it was a shame, because she once dropped out, so she always demanded that his five children excellent academic performance.
The breaking point came in 1970, when the woman decided to fill the gap in education. She was sent to 9-th class, where he revealed the cause of her problems with learning in childhood. It turned out that Monique suffers from dyslexia (a selective disruption of the ability to master reading skills).

To overcome difficulties and to achieve the task proved quite difficult. The woman will get the coveted diploma this year, having finished grade in the school where she teaches her daughter and granddaughter learns.
As she says Monique, she was never stupid. She just didn’t have the right amount of support to cope with his illness. The woman says that she gets great pleasure from studying, despite the fact that she had long left the age of the typical student.
