It is every parent’s dream for his or her child to attend a university, four years later receive a degree, and go forth to fulfill their dreams. Multiply four years by ten, put accomplishing dreams before getting the degree, and you have Stephen Spielberg’s college experience. Spielberg, member of CSULB’s 2002 graduating class, first began his college career in 1965. Eager to pursue his budding professional career he dropped out three years later.
When the accomplished film director was asked why he decided to finish degree he said, "I wanted to accomplish this for many years as a 'thank you' to my parents for giving me the opportunity for an education and a career, and as a personal note for my own family-and young people everywhere-about the importance of achieving their college education goals.”
It is an inspiration to people of all ages that it is never too late to pursue a college degree. Regardless of how successful one is, education is something that is yours to keep forever.
