Huyu mzee namzimikia. Daima hakuna kuchelewa. Mtu anaweza kutimiza malengo na ndoto zake bila ya kujali umri. Kitu kimoja ambacho ni hakika ni pale aliposema "siku hizi watoto wetu hatuwafunzi kazi za amali". Ninakumbuka miaka ile ambapo shuleni tulikuwa tunasoma mambo ya vitabuni na elimu kwa vitendo. Hongera kwa Mzee Leo...Senior. Senior wa kweli kweli!
[h=1]99-Year-Old Man Graduates College[/h] By: Drew Weisholtz | 2 days ago

Leo Plass is a graduating senior.
And we do mean senior.
After nearly eight decades, the 99-year-old man has finally graduated from college. He recently picked up his diploma from Eastern Oregon University. Plass had less than a semester to go in 1932 before he wouldve graduated from the school, which was then called Eastern Oregon Normal School.
Plass had designs on becoming a teacher, but a friend offered him a logging job that wouldve paid nearly twice what he would make as a teacher. Since it was the Depression, this college student showed off his smarts by dropping out of school to get into logging and never returned to his studies.
Plass does have a little of the back in my day in him. He said todays colleges dont do enough to prepare students for life, adding, They dont teach youngsters things they need to know about. When I was in school, thats about all they did teach. You learned how to cook, you learned how to sew and how to type.
Still, earning his associates degree was a true joy for Plass, who said, Never dreamed of something like this happening to me. Its out of this world.
