Donzella Washington, 80, recently became the oldest person to ever graduate from Alabama A&M University.
The Alabama woman credits her achievement to her late husband whom according to her, had always been supportive.
She graduated Magna Cum Laude with a 3.69 GPA with a degree in social work. She said she wants to “inspire young people and even adults, to let them know that age, because I’m 80, but I don’t know what 80 really feels like. It’s never too late. You have a dream, please finish that dream. You can do it. You just have to believe in yourself.”
