From circus to university at 81-years-old

Available for over a year

Rebeca Aravena from Chile is a very unusual student. She went back to school… after 66 years. She left school when she was 13, worked in several working class jobs and ended becoming a circus dancer after marrying a clown. But she never gave up her dream to finish her studies and become a professional nurse assistant. This year, at 81-years-old, she started making her dream come true and told Outlook how challenging but fulfilling it is for her. Image: Rebeca Aravena Credit: Duoc UC
