I'm 28! This time 10 years ago, I was 18 getting ready to move out from my family home to go to university. The world was my oyster! I was part of the 'next generation' - shapeable and ready to learn to have an impact on this world that was promised to me. Ready to pursue 'what I wanted to do when I was older'.
Now I'm defined as being 2 years from 30. The world is no longer my oyster - in fact it is making demands of me! Now you should be married! Now you should have children! Now you should be living in a 4 bedroom house with room for 2 cars on the drive. If I contemplate studying again, the response is I'm too old or I should be thinking about settling down. But when did I become unshapeable (not a word I think) and not ready to learn to have an impact on this world! 
I am now inspired by those who are older than me and decide to go back to studying. Those who decide that they have more to offer this world and decide to learn more to do this! No matter what age we are at, it's never too late to do something different. Life is to be experienced and enjoyed, so don't let age or circumstance hold you back. We can always learn, we can always change the world!
