| Jennifer proves it's never too late to follow your dreams. |

Jennifer Cheyne
graduated from UC Berkeley at the age of 51.
There she also learned to speak French fluently enough to move to France
for a few months on a writing assignment and to fulfill a lifelong dream to
live as a Parisian. Along the way
Jennifer also learned that achieving perfection is overrated as long as you maintain
your grace and a sense of humor. Despite
being late for too many classes, habitually behind in her reading and guilty of
handing in unedited papers, she wound up with a double major in Psychology and
French, a minor in creative writing, a 3.47 GPA and twice as many credits as
were required to graduate.
Back in the USA,
Jennifer is now starting her Masters degree and an internship, focused on
supporting her son in college and establishing her own
career path. Guess all that daydreaming
paid off after all.
You can read more about how Jennifer took
this leap of life and follow her on her blog, No More Wishful Thinking (you got
to love that title). She also writes for
Womens’ Voices For Change.
