Sometimes children go to any lengths to get permission from their parents not to go to school.
They do not understand how valuable knowledge is and how lucky they are that they have every opportunity to receive it.
This woman from Argentina, for example, did not have such a blessing. But when she was 99 years old, she decided to catch up.
Her name is Leonor Kordal and she had a very difficult childhood. There were always enough problems in their family, but with they lost their mother, everything became even worse.
This happened when Leonor was very young and was just learning to write and read. However, the life situation forced the girl to leave school and help her family.
And only now she decided to finally devote time to herself and catch up on lost knowledge.
Having gone to a local adult school, she was ready to be the oldest of all. However, her classmates do not laugh at her. On the contrary, they admire and try to help in every possible way.
Despite her age, for all the time of her studies, she did not miss a single lesson.
Of course, now knowledge is given to Leonor much more difficult than before. She admits that her memory often fails her.
It would seem that she only learned the class schedule, but while she was walking home, she managed to forget everything.
Her school teacher understands this, and therefore tries to pay more attention to an unusual student. She even meets the woman before school, and then escorts home.
The most amazing thing is that the difficulties do not frighten the 99-year-old woman at all.
She is excited to have the opportunity to learn to read and write again and is already planning to start learning to use the computer.
She is the best example of perseverance and the fact that it is never too late to learn, it can be done at any age. We all definitely have a lot to learn from her.
So, if you wanted to take up dancing, learn a foreign language or learn a new profession, but thought it was too late for this, just remember Leonor Kordal!
