Kiwi kids news (homework)

A woman in Maine recently graduated from college at 99 years of age, 75 years after her fellow classmates. The woman's name is Jessie White and she was supposed to graduate in 1939 but couldn't afford to pay the US$5 transcript fee. But when Jessie’s friend found out that she never graduated she got in contact with the college president and he paid the fee and set up a ceremony for Jessie. So Jessie Finally received her degree in stenography and bookkeeping.Despite not being able to graduate with the rest of her class and suffering a disability from a polio infection, Jessie never gave up and continued until she landed a job as a bookkeeper where she has worked for years. Jessie says that finally getting her degree feels great.

In my opinion I think that her friend is really nice for getting in contact with the college so that her friend could graduate.

What do you think?
