Walter Seton Bunker, a veteran of World War II, arrived at the University of Xavier (Ohio) in 1946, willing to graduate in art. Walter Seton Bunker has just graduated Cum Laude at the University. You can see in the photo, uploading excitedly to the podium, with toga and birrete, to collect its title. Walter Seton Bunker is 90 years old, and suffers from lung cancer.
Walter entered the newly finished university, willing to obtain its university degree. But life does not always let you do what you want, and he had to leave her studies. He married and had 10 children, which did not leave him time to resume his career. In addition, many health problems began to appear. Currently, Walter suffers from lung cancer, and has been subjected to thirteen radiotherapy treatments in recent years. He also has difficulty walking, so he usually needs the help of a daughter and a grandson. But despite everything, the idea of graduating never came out of his mind. And now, 68 years after having entered the university, he has succeeded.
In this world in which the speed prevails, the case of Walter Seton Bunker is a great lesson. We want everything, and we want it now. We are discouraged to the first setback, it costs us little to give up. And it also costs us little to say phrases like "that train has already happened", "I am no longer for that" ... and suddenly, a 90 -year -old man with terminal cancer arrives, and graduated from the university. And we stayed with our mouths open, wondering if it is not possible that we have surrendered early.
Patience, perseverance, and above all, determination. Identify the objective, and never abandon the idea of achieving it, although we suffer stops and setbacks. With this attitude, it's never too late. But you have to start. Now.
