96-Year-Old Grad Student Keeps Pace with Younger Students

Posted in

The article appears in USA Today here.

Essentially, after being told he was too old to volunteer anymore, the Taiwanese man went back to study Philosophy. His way of coping with a less-than-fresh memory? Cramming the night before.

I'll be happy if I'm breathing at 96, but getting a Masters? Awesome.

That is amazing!!! He does not look 96 either.

Wow! What a terrific article. Thanks, MagnetMom!

Thanks healthy11. I keep saying it's stress, because my memory isn't what it used to be either. And frankly I'd rather it be stress than age. But the story definitely made me smile! :)

Inspiring! (I know my memory isn't what it used to be, either, so I hope I won't have lost it all by the time I'm his age!)
