还记得那位陪女儿考研却比女儿先考上的妈妈吗? 周亚松,早在2017年就因为给女儿陪考而率先考上华中师范大学的研究生。今年7月, 56岁的她又收到了韩国大学院的博士录取通知书。 活到老,学到老——这句话在周亚松的身上得到了印证。 有些人,人到中年、事业安稳、家庭和睦,不免就想继续年轻时的教育。 [Photo/Pexels] 国外知乎Quora上就有这么一道经典的体验题——“人到中年回到学校读书是什么体验?”底下充满了各种中年继续教育的励志故事: 网友Eamon O'Kelly 38岁的时候就回到学校念本科。 I went back to university full-time at 38 to finish my BA degree. I was the oldest student in all my classes but I would see a few older students around the college. I studied history and economics and did very well: I didn’t have the distractions that are common among traditional-age students such as partying and boyfriend/girlfriend dramas; I had the discipline that comes from 20 years in the workplace, and thus did everything well and on time; and I had real-world experience that benefited me greatly. 我38岁回到大学攻读全日制学士学位。我是所有班级中年龄最大的学生,但我也会在学院里看到一些年长的学生。我学的是历史和经济学,成绩很好:我没有受到传统年龄段学生常见的分心因素的影响,比方说参加派对以及恋爱那一套等;我有20年的工作经验,因此每件事都做得很好、很准时;这些现实世界的经验让我受益匪浅。 |
