Her kids and grandkids can have a positive role model in their lives, they can know it's possible and how much hard work it'll take to make it happen

The Grandmother can still live for another 20 years, and still use her knowledge to inspire and teach , some people don't even live beyond 30 years with their qualifications ,so how is that a waste of time. some people are so insensitive , and negative just in general.

From @Randy_nzhula:

Congratulations to her, I admire her courage. Studying requires balance, sacrifices, and dedication. Considering her age it just makes everything so special and unique. Respect to granny
