Never Too Old: 78-Year-Old Starts First Grade in Bulgaria
78-year-old Apostol Stoyanov has been a laborer all his life. He never had the opportunity to get an education when he was young due to the cost and distance from his home. Though he never learned to read or write, he says his greatest dream is to be literate. He says he ‘s ready for a life in the classroom.
First graders at one Bulgarian school will have a much older classmate this year. Stoyanov will be doing most of his studying at home, but will attend class to turn in homework, take tests, and answer questions like any other first grader. His biggest fear, he says, is math, but he plans to seek extra help from his teachers.
