Age is just a number for María Dolores Ballesteros, who received her law degree from the University of the Valley of Mexico (UVM) at 80 years old.

This is the second degree for the recent graduate, who also obtained a degree in nursing at the National Autonomous University of Mexico over six decades ago when she was just 18-years-old. She took her studies into the field and practiced nursing at multiple hospitals in Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

“This achievement satisfies me, but I am not fulfilled. I feel there’s still more for me,” she also said that she would like to do a thousand things but can only achieve one or two things.
