I happened onto this commencement address by "accident" and listened intently to every moment of it. I didn't go to college. I was busy active in my addiction to alcohol and drugs but now I am 20 plus years sober and thinking it's not too late to get an education. My love for Greek classics is exactly where I want to start. After all, I would much rather spend the rest of my life learning than wishing I had.
wow, i don't know you but I am proud of your current state of mind. It is never too late to learn or get an education. Best of luck!
