Behind her, probably staring at the person who took the image, were school children much younger than she is. It also appeared that the school is a mixed one as boys could be seen seated behind her, likewise girls. No information was given as to why she took the decision to enroll herself in school or if she had schooled in the past but one thing is clear – she wants to be educated and she wasn’t going to allow her age stand in her way.
