Grandma Didn't Get Run Over by a Reindeer - She Earned a Paralegal Certificate!

By Lynne DeVenny

ADVERTISEMENTS

"Will without action is an impossibility and that's what I'm passing on to you ladies out there. You can do it. If I can do it, you can do it. Just don't wait as long as I did." ~ Anne M. Costrini

For those of you that are holding down jobs, plus working on college degrees and trying to get through the holidays without having a meltdown - or for those of you that think you're too old to get a degree - here's a holiday story that hopefully will bring you good cheer and inspiration to keep following your dreams.

Georgia resident Anne M. Costrini is 91 years old, a great-grandmother and the proud recipient of a new paralegal certificate from Armstrong Atlantic State University.

But Costrini's college career is far from over. With an eye on law school, she'll be working on her pre-law degree when the January 2010 semester starts.

I love this picture of her holding her paralegal certificate. I don't think I've ever seen a bigger, more beautiful smile, not even on Julia Roberts.

Anne Costrini, you ROCK!
