"It's never too late," says GCC student who returned to school after 27 years

She put off going to college for years, thinking she was too old--that she wouldn't be able to do it.
Now Sherry Loehr has an evangelical zeal about people beyond the "traditional" students' age of 18-22 going back to school, even if they fear that they'll be too rusty to pick up where they left off.
"I want to tell everyone they can do it," Loehr said.
After 27 years away from school, once she jumped into the pool, she said, the water was warm. All her fears faded away and she loved it.
"If there's anything I got from this whole experience, it's that it's never too late," she said. "Germanna changed my life."
