If you ever feel like you’re too old, too busy with work or too crushed with family obligations to complete your college degree, there’s a grandmother from Las Vegas who’d like a word with you.
WBAY-TV reports on November 18, 63-year old Robyn Roberts graduated from Southern New Hampshire University. The mother of eight, grandmother of 33 and great-grandmother of 12 earned her degree online, studying and doing homework in the cab of her semi truck while making deliveries in 48 states. No big deal.
Roberts, who runs a trucking business with her husband, originally decided to get her degree after her grandson challenged her to do so, but now, she plans to continue her education and become a lawyer.
Ahead of her graduation, Roberts dropped off a load in New York State before heading to New Hampshire for the ceremony. She then got back on the road to make a delivery in Arkansas before driving home to Las Vegas. When she arrives, she’ll make Thanksgiving dinner … for 38 people.
So, what’s your excuse?
