As a 45 year old student in college, I feel a bit out of place. I'm aware that I'm not alone but I am somewhat of a minority. I do have the advantage of having more "life experiences" that has helped me with my classes, except for math! At least I'm done with my required math courses but classes based on social aspects have been easier.
I never thought I would attend college but Corn On The Cob (COTC) has so far been a positive experience. I tell my kids how important a college education can be. They would then point out that I never went to college so this is part of the reason for attending COTC. And I can also point out that they will not want to attend college as an old man such as myself.
