A grandmother of seven who emigrated from Sri Lanka to Canada has become the oldest person to earn a master's degree at Canada's York University.
Varatha Shanmuganathan, 87, graduated from the university with a masters degree in political science, a CNN report detailed.
"It has been interesting. On the first of November, I was just an ordinary lady going about my ordinary life. On the second of November, when I graduated, everything changed," Shanmuganathan told CNN.
According to York University spokesperson Gloria Suhasini, Shanmugunathan's degree focused on the civil war in Sri Lanka and efforts to reach peace.
Additionally, Shanmugunathan said that this has always been a lifelong dream to study politics and earn a higher degree in it.
"I am happy to have finally achieved it," she said.
