Today, we often take our high school diplomas for granted. It seems like a huge percentage of people get them, and it’s assumed that most kids under 18 are working towards it. However, years ago, it was a lot different. It certainly wasn’t uncommon for young people to drop out of high school and work, get married, or in Margaret Bekema’s case, take care of family.

In the video below, the 97-year-old finally receives her diploma, and her reaction to this milestone will bring tears to your eyes.
