70-Year-Old Lives the College Experience 70?
Many schools across the U. S. hold graduation ceremonies this time of year. In some schools, even 5 and 6-year-olds observe their graduation from kindergarten. And so can older people, much older. Meet 70-year-old Jerry Reid, he just graduated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He earned a bachelor’s degree.
Mr. Reid might not look like the average college student, his hair is definitely grayer. But still Jerry Reid’s age is easy to forget, other UVA students know him as one of their own.
Mr. Reid sat into the " Hoo Crew" , a group that cheers loudly for the school at sports events. He also joined a fraternity, a men’s group on campus. He sang drinking songs along with many other students. Mr. Reid’s school friends say they can talk to him about anything.
About a half century ago, in his 20s, Mr. Reid was not in school. Instead, he was racing cars and chasing girls. But he says his friend Bill invited him to UVA parties. Reid said, "Bill Sturman told me what a screw-up I was that there was no way I’d ever make anything out of my life unless I came up here and went to school with him".
Jerry Reid says it took him 48 years to take that advice. Later he entered college, his last examination before graduation involved the Civil War General for the Southern, Stonewall Jackson.
UVA Professor Luke Wright says Mr. Reid influences students. Professor Wright thinks he has opened the minds of the young adults. The teacher says Mr. Reid showed them that life does not end at 40. Instead, the 70-year-old college graduate believes that getting older can be the beginning of a dream.
Mr. Reid mentions that he and his wife Susan now would take some time off to enjoy his college degree. Then, he’ll return to UVA to begin studying for his graduate degree.
