Is there something in your life that you wish you did but have yet to do?

As Grace Lee McClure Smith shows us, it's never too late as she graduates from high school at the age of 94.

To support her husband as he left to fight in the war, Grace Lee left school at the young age of 16.

But as her grand daughter shared, she never once regretted doing this as she loved her husband but graduating high school was also something she always wanted to do.

And so that's what she did.

By doing this, she proves that if you have something that you would like to do but think it may be too late that this isn't the case at all.

As Grace Lee said, "Better late than never."
