I've always admired people who are willing to pick themselves up time after time and still try to make something productive out of their lives, no matter how far down they are or how late in life they start the effort:
Indiana Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman is using the recent earning of her first college degree
to urge others to do the same.
Skillman, 59, received an associate's degree with a concentration in business from Indiana
Wesleyan University last month. She's taking this semester off, but plans to continue taking classes toward a bachelor's degree.
Alas, she's probably going to run for governor instead of doing something useful with her degree, like start a company and put some people to work. Never mind.
