So I was watching the news today and saw a most intriguing story. The story was about people upgrading their grade 12 marks in order to get into university or some sort of post secondary education. However, as you may have already guessed by the title of my post, there was an 81 year old lady that was taking the course to upgrade math 30.
The fact that the lady is 81 years old may be wrong because I might have heard them wrong or something. But I'm fairly confident in saying that she was 81 years old. Anyways, the reason that the lady was taking the course is interesting... well at least I thought it was. She's taking the course, because she considers it like walking, but for your brain. She was saying that you exercise by running and things like that to keep your body healthy, why not do something for your brain as well. So she's doing Math 30.
Oh but here's the best part!!! At the end of the story, they were talking about how she's really good at math and that all the students like to be grouped up with her for solving problems and such. Apparently she's so good she was given the same question as a student and finished it without a calculator, before he could with one!!! He was still punching in the numbers when she finished with just a pencil and paper! That was awesome!
