Pick Me Up: At 97, WWII Vet Finally Gets His High School Diploma!

I just love today's Pick Me Up Story! It proves you're never too old to go back to school. Check this out! Libert Bozzelli has done a lot in his 97 years, you read that right....97, but one thing he never did was go back and get his high school diploma after dropping out at 17 to fight for his country in WWII. He joined the Army, was in WWII, and then came home and married his high school sweetheart. He got a job and worked his entire life, but he always wanted to get his high school diploma. Well, this past week, he finally checked that off his list when he crossed the stage to accept his diploma along with the Cuyahoga Falls High School class of 2022. While he didn't have to go back to school, he passed a series of tests to qualify to graduate and then walked across the stage at the High School with his great-grandson, Dominick, who also graduated that night. They both received their diplomas! God bless Libert! Good for him for knowing it's never too late!
