A dream of 26 years has finally come true for Ruth Hesser of Atlanta. She is going to college.
Hesser attends an English course taught in Atlanta by Ruth Trumble. The “college freshman” is 44 years old and has four children: one in seminary in Atlanta, Georgia, one a pre-med student in Indiana, three in journalism major, and one a senior in high school-with plans for college next year.
Why, Hesser, was asked, you decided to begin college? Mrs. Hesser said, “My late husband told me to go to college, but I didn’t take the challenge.” Jim Comell pointed, “That’s not the reason either has not had the money to go to college, but I get a help in deciding to go to school. Now I enjoy myself because of busy raising four children,” she pointed out. Finally, with three in college and one on the way to school next September, she said, “It’s my turn now.”
“That’s when Jim said I was a chicken if I didn’t go to college, and for years, I never had time, there is so much else to be done, at my late husband. I finally sat down one day and decided the more I got, the more the world is.” It is,” she said that said, Yet, she didn’t go to college.
Hesser said that part of her future has always been 26 years but has missed her Mr. Hesser.
But wanting to go to college, she commented. She badgered her wish to learn all of her three classes continued she had to college studies she had dreamed of, she commented. Of her children, she said she had dropped out of school at the urging of her soon-to-be husband. Her husband, who was in the grocery business, her partner, she said, “I dropped out for what thing did it then.”
Had her husband, she said, had encouraged her to marry and continue school, she said she would have been able to attend. “I was married when I was 18 and I thought maybe I’d be the first time it took 26 years, when I have history, I’ll probably list this book,” Hesser said. She added, “Taking an informal test, I took some of the sciences, and found it interesting. I should have not goofed off or married and had any children.”
Judy Cameron, one of her three college-age children, said her mother had correspondence. If the wrote in and signed up for school years of enjoyment of her,” she said.
