OWINGSVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) - Willie Mae Jones has been living using the motto, ‘If you can dream it, you can achieve it,” for the past 20 years.
The 65-year-old enrolled in community college courses in 1999. She paused her education for several years, but in 2011 began taking classes at Morehead State University.
She will be graduating next month with a degree in Early Childhood Education.
“I have achieved my dream,” Jones said.
Jones has been the director of the School Age Child Care program at Owingsville Elementary School for 30 years.
