Do you need a little bit of inspiration as you sign up for classes this Fall? Here’s Ginger, she is FULL of inspirtaion!
Ginger earned her Bachelor’s Degree from Stanford University in 1940 and immediately started working on her Master’s. When her boyfriend was called to serve in World War ll, the couple decided to get married and leave just before she would have turned in her final thesis to get her degree.
“I thought it was one of the things I could pick up along the way if I needed it and I always enjoyed studying, so that wasn’t a really great concern to me – and getting married was”, she said.
The years went by and two kids, four grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren later… she got her Masters Degree at 105 years old!
She said “I’ve been waiting a long time for this.”
