It is never too late to return to school. I am 34 and just completed my first year of university. There are a lot of mature students, who are in their 30s, 40s, 50s and even 60s. They have made the experience much more enjoyable, since I can relate to them.

When I was in high school, my marks were terrible, even though I was labeled gifted. My poor academic performance reflected the emotional and social difficulties, I had at that time. About five years after I abruptly left, I enrolled in adult education. The environment was positive and fellow students were very supportive. My average actually reflected my true potential. Even my self esteem increased.

We older student possess maturity and life experience; it gives us discipline, that most of the younger ones lack.

School changed my life and overall outlook. It is never ever too late!
