A 72-year-old Georgia resident recently graduated from college<\/a> with a degree in cinema studies on Thursday \u2014 and his proud, 98-year-old mother was in attendance.<\/p>\n

Lawrenceville’s Sam Kaplan enrolled at Georgia Gwinnett College in 2019 \u2014 50 years after he opted to not pursue higher education when he graduated from high school in 1969.<\/p>\n

“I was riding down the highway and heard on the radio they were offering this degree,” Kaplan told FOX 5 Atlanta.<\/a> “The next exit was Collinsville, so I exited off and five minutes later, I was registering for class.<\/p>\n

“I’ve always liked to write, I love to tell stories. I thought I could turn my stories into screenplays, but I needed to have the foundation of what to do.”<\/p>\n

Kaplan said that the experience was nerve-wracking, but ultimately rewarding. He graduated summa cum laude<\/i> with a major in cinema and media arts and plans to write more screenplays in the future.<\/p>\n

“It was exciting, nervous, but it was a challenge. Learning how to study again and interacting with the students was a lot of fun,” Kaplan said. “I’m very excited, and I feel proud of myself for doing this.”<\/p>\n

The cherry on top of Kaplan’s big day was that his mother, Virginia Kaplan, was in attendance during the graduation ceremony.<\/p>\n

“I am so proud of him,” she told the Gwinnett Daily Post.<\/a> “He had many challenges, but he persevered, and I am so pleased, delighted and very, very proud.”<\/p>\n

“With his new degree, he’s going to be so successful in anything he does. And, who knows, I might even be in the movies,” the overjoyed mother, who will turn 99 soon, added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
