90-Year-Old Florida Woman Earns GED

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A 90-year-old woman who started her education in a one-room schoolhouse at a time when computers and overhead projectors didn't exist will receive her diploma next week.

Uceba Babson was born in Boynton Beach in 1913, before World War I had occurred, Charles Lindbergh had flown across the Atlantic Ocean, and women had received the right to vote.

She left school when she was in the 11th grade to marry a young farmer she met at Pahokee Baptist Church. She raised eight children, a family that expanded to include 81 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Professionally, she worked a bookkeeper, became president of the local chapter of the Business and Professional Women's Club, and later earned a real estate license.

Just kidding that is a great story.

They may have to do recounts.

JUST KIDDING!

My best friend took the test when he needed it for a job since he didn't have a high school diploma. Without any preparation, he passed on the first try. I don't know if it varies by state.
