Senior Grads

I am a 55-year-old who just graduated from Cal State Northridge in sociology. Math and statistics are both required. In answer to Irene Clark (letter, June 5), there is no secret. I am not math-oriented either, and I did stumble many times; fortunately I had great professors who picked me up when I did stumble. Like Steven Spielberg, if you want it bad enough, you go for it, no matter what your age. I fulfilled a long-held dream; maybe you can too, Irene--go for it! Congratulations to Spielberg for a job well done.
