Programs for older women are evolving, particularly for middle-aged and older women. This is especially true for colleges that are oriented to women's education. In the future, education will not be limited to the young and their will be many opportunities to move in new directions. My mom just turned 63 and I think of her as a much different person than I did once. How has your perception of yourself changed with time.
Many older people report that they feel better, more energetic and confident in older years.
This seems to counter the myth that it's all down hill after 50. It's hard for me to imagine that I am perceived as an older woman. Going back to school was actually more fun this time than when I got my bachelor's and my master's degree. One change was that I had the added advantage of experience in life. This is a new development that has been brought about on a combination through women's health activism, women in congress, and women researchers.
