Josephine Belasco has finally got her high school diploma! 80 years ago Josie dropped out of school at Galileo High. She thought it was more important, at the time, to take care of her family rather than completing high school. Through out the years, she kept thinking about the diploma she didn't have and how it was affecting her life without it. She thought it would be a good idea to go back and try to recieve her diploma. Galileo High accepted her back in to their school to finish out her "senior" year of high school. I guess you can't ever be too old to have an education.
