A 95 year old woman receives her HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA!!! recently my aunt has been attending GED classes and I believe that it is more than beautiful when ppl take advantage of education not only for their individual endeavors but holistically. The essence of it all just brings tears to my eyes. My mother still hasn't received her diploma and it pains me at the thought that she will never have the experience to do so, i commend this "young woman" for her perseverance and the way her story soothes my heart.

Marching alongside the fresh-faced Alabama seniors ready to make their way in the world was 95-year-old Earlene Harvey-Morris, whose own dreams of a diploma were snatched away from her 77 years ago.

“This is just something I never thought would happen,” Harvey-Morris told the Falkville class of 2010, who adopted her and made her an honorary class member.

Faced with an insurmountable budget crunch, Falkville High School was shuttered just months before she was scheduled to graduate in May 1933.
