In a post jiving somebody about "still being a student", you should not
use the invisible letters HTML tag, as it gives the (almost certainly
erronious) impression that you do not know about apostrophies, and
should go back to school yourself.

Certificate requirements are to read, speak, and understand English. Writing
isn't mentioned. Besides, it's the 'good moral character' part that concerns
me.

I don't think a student at 35 would be average, but some of us are
slow learners.

I quit work and went to college fulll time at age 47.
I graduated from college with a Bachelors in CS and started in on my
Masters at age 50. Yes that was a 4 year degree.
