97-year old Margaret Thome Bekema fulfilled a lifelong goal when she
received her high school diploma 80 years after she was forced to
drop out in order to help her family. School administrators from
Catholic Central High School in Grand Rapids presented her with the
diploma at the Yorkshire and Stonebridge Manor senior community in
Walker.
Bekema would have graduated with the Class of 1936, but she left during
her junior year to care for her three younger siblings because her
mother was ill with cancer. She said leaving school at age 17 broke her heart and she's thankful for the recognition
