  According to reports, Matsuura Kimiko, 84, was studying beauty while studying in high school.

However, Matsuura had to give up his studies because it was too busy to take care of both.

After that, Matsuura obtained a license as a beautician and started working. He married at the age of 18, had 4 children, and opened many shops.

  However, even though Matsuura has been working hard for most of his life, with a successful family and a successful career, he still has nostalgia for what he didn't finish in high school.

So after retiring, Matsuura resolutely decided to apply for Omiya Chuo High School in Saitama Prefecture and return to campus life.

At this time, Matsuura is over 8 years old, but she still insists on completing homework and participating in sports activities like everyone else.

  Matsuura said that due to changes in the times, things to learn now are much harder than before.

However, after 4 years of hard work, Matsuura finally graduated successfully and will attend the graduation ceremony on March 7, 2021.

Her son Hyunji said, "I was surprised that my mother could actually graduate. I feel very honorable and worthy of respect."

President Koike also praised Matsuura for letting him "learn how valuable hard work is from this predecessor in life."
