Carol said never thought all these years later she would get the opportunity to not only go to school but do it with her two sons.
After brothers Harry and Anthony enrolled in programs here at the University of Arizona, their 57-year-old mother decided it was time for her to do the same.
Carol came to the United States from Cambodia when she was just 15 years old. She said never thought all these years later she would get the opportunity to not only to go to school but do it with her two sons. After she came to the U.S., she said she took a job at a preschool to provide for her three young children. She added that the job inspired her degree in education, which she will be receiving this week.
This week, the three members of the Chhieu family will be receiving different degrees. Anthony said his mom is the epitome of the saying, “It’s never too late to go back to school.”
