The older people in my college classes are my favorite. They all are actually willing to interact with the professors and generally help create a much more open learning environment. Schools should almost put people like that in classes as plants or something idk, cause they actually made me learn so much more.
There was a 25 year old in my driving class. She looked really uncomfortable with all the 16/17 year olds. I made it a point to talk to her, she was really nice! She had a kid and just moved from the city, where she didn't need to drive. She was nervous driving, so she wanted to take classes to feel more confident, even though she didn't have to.
My wife is 39 and just finished law school. she had a bachelors, but wasn't doing anything with it, and the kids were getting old enough to take care of themselves, so she decided to go back to school. Ceremony is Sunday and she takes the bar in July.
There were some younger people who were rude to her in a few classes and it hurt her, but she did make some friends among the younger ones as well. I'm so proud of her!
