One message that catched my attention was this:
"I admire your persistence. I am currently a university student as well. I started uni at the age of 35. I’m now 44 and just finished my first year. That’s right - it took me nine years to do one year of school![...]"- piggy momma
After all, he/she persisted and will graduate in a few years. That's amazing and inspiring.
