53-Year-Old Achieves University Dream in Greece

A 53-year-old woman from Crete has proven that it's never too late to pursue your dreams, as she succeeded in the Panhellenic Examinations. Dimitra Fragiadakis, a mother of three and a working woman, has been accepted to the Department of Finance and Accounting.

Mrs. Fragiadakis, who works in a canteen with her family, did not stop working a single day, while also attending evening high school in Heraklion. "It's never too late to learn or to pursue your dreams," she told KRITI TV.

Despite the difficulties that forced her to drop out of junior high school, she returned to school three years ago. Her initial goal was to graduate with honors, but her teachers encouraged her to participate in the Panhellenic Examinations.

Her children are her driving force, and as she states, she is looking forward to starting her student life.
