This new grade is celebrating at a pace after the pass college-a year of gap-only it is making it in the 1970s.
At the age of 74, Dorotea Levy de Szekely-the eternal and self-proclaimed lifelong student-Sapo graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Hunter College, proving that it is never too late to hit books or rewrite your story.
“My motto has always been,” will allow age to be your cage, “€” told him on Friday, walking on Friday, walking in Hunter, “walking to the 228th of Hunter’s start.
Born and raised in Argentina, the elegant silver researcher had a long way in decades before grabbing her rank.
After a cruel teacher in the first grade told her that she does not finish high school due to a learning disability, Levy de Szekely avoided the college completely, despite an unwavering love to learn and a desire to pursue higher education.
“You always learn, and I worked my life towards that judgment,” she told her the post. â € œ but whenever I walked to a university, I felt this sadness and desire inside, as I wanted to go there and learn.
â € œfally, here at the Hunter College in New York City, this is the only place in the world that I think it received me, regardless of my age or who am I.â €
Her return to college began in 2017, when she enrolled in Borough of Manhattan Community College and won her associate rank in 2019 with a perfect 4.0 GPA as co-evaluative of her class.
Then came Hunter, where she gathered a 3.98 GPA, triple graduated in German language and literature, English (with a focus on creative writing), and in the studio Art – and made BFF more than half of her age.
One of them, a 20-year-old friend named Babsi, is œ œyouner than my niece, “Levy de Szekely pointed out-and yet, they can see very tight that Babsi came to enjoy it and even create a video Whatsapp video, so a classmate in Pakistan can also watch.
“I thought that was very on the go,” said a levy de szekely said .â
Following the ceremony, which would also participate in her proud children and grandchildren, Besties Brainy planned to celebrate with burghers at Us Hotspot, JG Melon.â
Levy de szekely’s passion for humans – and prose – formed her experience in college.
“For me, it is so important to see you in the eyes and know who you are,” she explained. â € œ NOMES SOMETHING HAPPENED AS YOU ARE LOVED OR CURIZED, but I am always very interested in the human being sitting on me … Being less ignorant for the other person makes you more compassionate.
â € œ I made great links to Hunter because I am always asking them all, you know, â € € who are you, what motivates you, where are you from? â â â €
It was not only other students who made an influence – the professors also left their mark, especially those who helped feed her love for literature.
“I love writing and creative history … There are so many things,” she said, discovering books and themes thoughtful.
“Like, we were reading Franz Kafka in German and studying the problems that arise when translating it into English or any other language,” she recalled. “I think, something very interesting.â €.
Its weak philosophical literary tastes and are particularly inspired by the early author of the 20th century Stefan Zweig.
“He said something that struck me in my mind – that story decides for you,” Levy de Szekely told the post, adding that Zweigâ’s writing resonates with him as he proves that even the smallest elections can form the course of history.
Now, instead of her back across Europe like many ranks of General Z, Levy de Szekely is taking a year “on her way” by devouring books in her time.
Levy de Szekely, who speaks a four stunning language – Spanish, English, German and “Some Frenchmen” – later plans to learn in the German Hunter department and prepare for a Master’s degree in English at Cuny’s or Hunter.
“I would like to follow an English master,” she said, accepting, “I would like her to be creative writing, but it would be difficult.
She is even plunging into rewriting tale – including a fresh take on € œlittle Red Riding Hoodâ that honors “powerful women”.
One thing is for sure: it is not slowing down.
Forget Sudoku, too, Levy de Szekely says that eternal curiosity and an open mind are all you need to keep mental gears return to any age.
“As I say, learning is a journey. It’s a life trip. So you have to learn,” she explained with a hint of philosophy. “In life, you can’t live without learning, even if you don’t know you are learning.”
Or, as her father used to say: â € day the day I can no longer learn something, I will be dead.â €
Clearly, this grandmother is just starting.
