It's Never Too Late to Pursue a Dream

Six weeks before his 97^th birthday, Giuseppe Paterno fulfilled the dream of a lifetime: He got a university degree. "Don't get lost because you find obstacles — because there will always be obstacles," Mr. Patero told reporters after he graduated with honors last week from the University of Palermo, where he received a degree in history and philosophy. "You have to be strong."

It is partly because of his age. But he has also drawn attention because his life story speaks of commitment, a theme that has resonated（引起共鸣）as millions of schoolchildren in Italy and elsewhere face extraordinary uncertainty amid the coronavirus pandemic

Born in Palenmo in 1923, the first of seven children in a 'very poor family', It was only after he retired, in the mid-1980s, that he returned to his books.

" You can remain young — if not in age at least in spirit — if you cultivate interests," said Rossella Cancila, his thesis adviser and a professor of history at the University of Palermo.

Italy's university system is based on a three-year degree, followed by a two-year master's course.

He isn't so sure. "I have to confess that in this moment, I don't know whether I would cope with it with the same spirit," he said, noting that all the attention had been a bit tiring. Still, Mr. Paterno said, he would probably enroll anyway. "I want to keep my option open."
