To 19-year-old Samantha, her mom and grandmother's entry to university was rather a surprise. "It was clear that Mia and I were admitted. And then all of a sudden, they were admitted too," Samantha remembered. "It was really surprising. And I didn't expect it."Amy, a mother of five children, has worked at Carthage College for over two decades and wanted to be enrolled one day. Calling herself "Carthage's biggest fan", she said she felt like she now had the time to pursue higher studies.As for 71-year-old Christy, she retired three years ago but is still eager to learn. In fact, she still continues to support and volunteer at local nonprofits. Christy said she was also inspired by her son Joshua, who is pursuing his second master's degree. She has decided to go forward with a master's degree in business, design and innovation alongside her daughter.The women are inspirational to anyone who doesn't want their age to block their dreams. Amy advised everyone to go after what they want because life is too short. "Put that doubt aside and just go for it," she said. Christy added, "Never hesitate to follow your heart. In my life, it has led me to my greatest opportunities and has also built my greatest strengths. If I always stayed in my comfort zone, I wouldn't be where I am today."
