Good decision, Yummy. Have a wonderful day. Maybe some graduation photos?

Ahh, thank you all for your good wishes......I will go, I'm quite excited......smile

I agree with everyone who has said you must go - you probably deserve your degree more than some of the 'youngsters'!

I didn't go to my degree ceremonies in my 20s because I thought I was taking some kind of stand, not sure against what? About 5 years ago I did a course of training through work which led to a degree and I decided to go to this ceremony and make up for the ones I had missed. I had a fabulous day and there were lots of older graduates. I agree wholeheartedly with all the other comments; don't hesitate, go and enjoy it. You will have an unforgettable day! smile

Age is just a number....you've worked hard and you deserve to go. flowers

I just agree with everyone else. I don't think I'm too old for anything, just reached the age when I feel I can do what I like when I like!

Congratulations, Yummy. I endorse what everyone else says. Of course you aren't too old. Nobody is too old to reap the rewards of their hard work. Take your family to cheer you on. They should be very proud of you. wine Cheers!

yummy Congratulations flowers you get yourself to that ceremony, you have worked very hard and deserve the whole sheebang as butter said. Last year at my DD graduation there were lots over 50's.

Do you think at 55 it is too old to go to a graduation ceremony? I have just got my BA Hons after 8 years studying part time, but feel a bit long in the tooth for the cap and gown bit....what do you gransnetters think?
