Comment from Leineco
Very nicely misleading :-)
First you surprised us with her age
and then you threw in unexpected causation.
A clever undermining of preconceived notions :-)
Nicely done :-)

Comment from ElPoetry001
Excellent
We watched you work and we know you are smart, but getting ahead seems to require a unique start: a high school diploma, or a GED, maybe some college, even a degree.
It all seems appalling when experience is passed over and employers are only calling those with a formal education; and the diploma to prove it.
Nevertheless, it is never too late to complete a program that provides you with a ticket to the employment market.
You knew you could do it, did it, and now your self-confidence has received a need boost. Great.

Comment from Smoothiecool
good luck in the contest
your few chosen words allow the reader to see and feel Miranda's walk to get her diploma at sixty-seven
at first one may have thought she was walking down the isle to happiness to marry again
the twist worked well
cheers smoothiecool

Comment from suep
I really enjoyed this short story. At first I thought it was perhaps a wedding, but was then pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be a graduation. An inspiring story in so few words highlighting that it's never too late to learn new things or to make a new beginning. Excellent work! :)

Thought she was getting married, and loved the twist. Well told, especially with so few words allowed. Best wishes in the contest!

Oh what a great twist at the end I sure thought the old lady was getting married. What an excellent take on the writing prompt. Excellent job on telling a complete story in only 100 words. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from humpwhistle
Good for Miranda! But at sixty-seven isn't she a little old to be a working girl? Oh! The other kind of business! Good story with a strong and uplifting message.
But if Miranda wants to make a little ching on the side, well, give her my number.
Best of luck at the pools...polls.
Peace, Lee

Thank you for your comments for my little story, hw. She's a gutsy gal and I. Sure she'd like your number! Thanks for reading and for your good luck dip in the pool.
Comment from Louise Michelle
You have done a splendid job with this writing challenge. Some people just toss together a few sentences and call it a story. With this posting, the reader realizes the older woman is ambitious and hard working. Her tension eases at the end when she gets a grand applause. Well done, Lou
