A Seminole State instructor is a living example of Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson's "You're never too old to start learning, and you're never too young to aim high and achieve great things," quote.
Virginia Perwin has been an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) instructor at Seminole State for 12 years and on Aug. 5 graduated from the University of Central Florida (UCF) with her Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages program at age 85.
Perwin is a strong believer in lifelong learning. “I believe everyone should continue learning. Life is the condition of continual change. There are so many things to learn around us,” said Perwin. “We need to embrace education and learning throughout our lives.”
Perwin already has plans for her next educational journey and has applied for the Reading Education Certificate program at UCF beginning this Fall.
A love for learning runs in the family. She encourages her husband to continue French classes and may accompany him on his journey to mastery of the French language.
