Shirin decided not to waste her time and to fulfill an old dream\u2014completing 12 years of education. With the help of a special course organized by the Jerusalem Municipality, which lasted nearly a year, Shirin completed her studies and received her certificate today (Tuesday).  <\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;There\u2019s no such thing as an age limit&#8221;  <\/strong><br \/>\nShirin shared the moment she decided to take the step despite the challenges: &#8220;While staying at the hotel, I applied to complete 12 years of education. I was skeptical about whether I would actually be able to finish my studies.&#8221; She also emphasized the warm support she received from the course staff: &#8220;I was met with love from the course instructors, and they welcomed me with open arms. This encouraged me to succeed and complete 12 years of education. Instilling the belief that we would pass the course and succeed in the exams was not something I took for granted.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, she highlighted the inspiration she hopes to provide for people of all ages: &#8220;I hope others see my success and realize that there\u2019s no such thing as an age limit\u2014one can always learn, and with patience and perseverance, achievements are harvested.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12033\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12033\" style=\"width: 349px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/e40dbad2-c934-426e-92aa-319fb8db3872.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"349\" height=\"303\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/e40dbad2-c934-426e-92aa-319fb8db3872.jpeg 349w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/e40dbad2-c934-426e-92aa-319fb8db3872-300x260.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12033\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shirin Cohen | Photo: Jerusalem Municipality Spokesperson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Mayor of Jerusalem, Moshe Leon, congratulated Shirin on completing her education, stating: &#8220;Our national victory in the war passes through inspiring acts like Shirin&#8217;s.
