A 106-year-old woman will be receiving her high school diploma. An example to all that as long as you have breath in your body there is still a chance to accomplish your goals.

“Reba Williams said she completed high school in Ohio but was denied her diploma because she refused to read a final book assigned by a teacher. She’d read it once and didn’t want to read it again.”

According to The Mansfield News Journal, the Mount Vernon Board of Education approved giving Ms. Williams her diploma.

Thanks to a retired teacher caring enough about her story, at 106 years young, the “sharp minded” Reba Williams will finally have her diploma. It’s been a long time coming. For more on this story visit theGrio.
