Billie Jean King Checks Off Another Bucket List Item I have to say, I’m pretty impressed with this piece of news. Can you believe Billie Jean King, the tennis legend, is now a college graduate at 82 years old? Yeah, she’s way cooler than I am. I mean, think about it – she’s been a 12-time Grand Slam singles champion and a pioneer for women’s sports, and now this? She has done it all, hasn’t she? History Major and a Fighter for Equality Majoring in history – how fitting is that? It’s reported that she even wrote about the Title IX law, which she played a huge role in getting passed. That’s just proof that her fight for equality has been a lifelong commitment. And it took her quite a while, well, six-and-a-half decades to be exact, but who’s counting? It’s not like she’s had nothing else going on in her life. We can’t blame her for taking her time. Why This Matters It might seem like a small thing, but it’s cool to see that it’s never too late to achieve your goals. It’s inspiring, honestly. I know I’m feeling motivated, and I bet quite a few of us are too. So, if you’ve been putting off your dreams, maybe Billie Jean can be the push you needed to go out and get ’em!
