98-Year-Old Grandma Finally Graduates from High School.

Eighty years ago, Josephine Belasco was forced to quit high school to take care of her ailing sister and help support her family. Her only regret in life: never finishing high school.

Now, the 98-year-old grandmother of three finally got her high school diploma:

She worked for 36 years as an accountant, enjoyed a long and happy marriage, has a son and three grandkids, maintains her own top-floor apartment on Nob Hill and still goes out on the town with her friends for old-fashioneds and margaritas.

But 98-year-old Josephine Belasco always had one regret: dropping out of Galileo High School. Today she'll join hundreds of seniors of another sort as she dons a white cap and gown, carries a rose with the rest of the girls and -- 80 years later -- graduates from Galileo.
