Am I too old for college?

first off, you sound super nice, i don't know why - probably your manners, grammar, and word choice. i definitely think you should go to college. you seem like you really have your head on straight and i think you can get a lot out of it. i think the harvard summer school will be for students out of high school but if you apply im sure they will consider you. no body will even be able to tell how old you are - and if they do i don't think it matters (its all competitive so no body is going to actually care). lots of people start college now after they are married (24-26) or even when they have kids.......i know a few moms in college who are 30 and they are wonderful students. right now i am a first year at ohio state, 18 years old, and there are so many people as old as me that don't even bother with school. they waste their time partying and on top of that they complain about how they should have waited since they are struggling with the costs. so if you can manage with tuition i think you'll be just fine. we are all on earth to learn and educate ourselves. give it a shot. whatever decision you make will be great though, and enjoy life =) its the only one you got.
