Pak Sang Im, 96, a Korean resident of Sakurai, Nara Prefecture, is going to school, realizing a childhood dream.
Pak is a student at a night junior high school in Tenri, also in Nara. The school, based in an elementary school's classrooms, has some 40 students ranging in age from their 20s to 90s. Classes start at 5:30 p.m.
Pak said she has dreamed since childhood of going to school "even just once in my lifetime."
