Most college graduates are usually between the ages of 21 and 23, but on May 10 one proud mother and grandmother received her diploma at the ripe age of 70!

Billie Prins currently lives in Bowling Green and was surrounded on May 10 by family members who traveled from across the United States to see her graduate.

With her family watching on--a very proud Billie Prins completed a journey that she had always dreamed of.

"I've always said I wanted to finish and wondered if I ever would...and I finally did!" said Billie.

Billie received a degree in interdisciplinary studies.

She says she went back to school for personal gratitude.

Billie also has some words of encouragement for anyone her age when it comes to reaching goals like this.

She says you could do anything you want to do and to just go for it.
