In 1931, Uceba Babson quit 11th grade to marry a vegetable farmer. (obviously quitting to marry him wasnt a good idea)
Three husbands, 81 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and seven decades later, she decided to go back to school. After two years of never missing a day of class, she participated in a graduation ceremony, receiving a standing ovation, red roses, and a letter from Gov. Jeb Bush. "This is something I promised myself a long time ago. It's been a challenge, but a wonderful challenge," Babson said.
