I think that this is very good and very bad. It is awesome to see older women finally pursuing their dreams and getting an education. Unfortunately, the Koreas population is declining heavily. Therefore hurting the schools in the country. I guess that the plus side is that they are now going to have educated elderly people instead of actual children. Hopefully, Korea will get busy and make more children before it will be too late.

This article about these women who were not able to gain education or learn to read or right is educational. It is amazing to see women not giving up on dreams. They didn't care what others thought and still went to first and second grade classrooms to lean how to read and right. School was such an importance to them that they learned how to do school and live their everyday lives. These women find joy in learning to read and write. These are skills that most take for granted. Many people in the United States are able to get the education that a lot of other people can't. These women show others what it's life not always having opportunities like going to school. Even one of the women is going to run for president of her village. She believes with the education she has now anything is possible for her. Something like school seemed out of these women's reach but once they grasped it anything was possible. It was a challenge for them to learn to read and right. However, the outcome of them being able to learn grew to new highs. These women are now able to view the world in a different perspective. There is so much out there for these women that they never thought was possible. All thanks to having the opportunity of going to school.
