Don José Mejía is one of those examples that, through his history, reminds us that there are no obstacles in life, it is never too late to accomplish goals.
He is 84 years old and last Monday was his first day at university. Now he is studying Law at the University Center of the South Coast (Cucsur) of the University of Guadalajara (UdeG), located in the municipality of Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco.
Don José Mejía competed for a slot at UdeG with over one-thousand candidates to attend the law program offered in the University Center of the South Coast, of which they accepted 772, including him.
The student had only finished primary school as a child, but after an open-heart operation, he felt that he should embark on his dream. So in 2008 he resumed his studies. In 2013 he made his first attempt to enter the University Center of Social Sciences and Humanities of UdeG, however did not reach the necessary score, tried to study in a private school but due to health problems had to return to Autlán, where he was born. After years, and perseverance, he is now on the road . . .
