At 50, I went to college for the first time and will graduate from PCC in the Fall.  I didn't go back to school for me as much as for my two boys.  You can't tell your kids that its important that they go to college when, as an adult, you have not gone to college yourself. 

I think this is an important lesson for all parents and their children.
