Retire and Go to Yale — For Free
Katherine Heun FRANKLIN FOOD PANTRY
IVY LEAGUE CLASSES ARE FOR ANYONE!
Ah, retirement! These golden years only come with one rule: Do what you want to do!
However, there’s a retirement secret many people don’t understand until they get there. You have many possibilities, but you may feel unsure where to start. Maybe the big plans you had aren’t living up to expectations, or you worry about depleting your retirement savings. Maybe you’re just … bored. It’s easy to feel rudderless or lost in retirement, but you don’t have to sit in that feeling for long. Among the many other resources available to retirees, Yale University has a catalog of pre-recorded classes that any user can take for free . Participants can be as active as they wish to be. Some students choose to do the readings, homework, and tests, while others simply listen to lectures. Best of all, you can learn something new or discover a new hobby thanks to some of the world’s brightest minds, without spending a penny.
“I decided to donate to the Franklin Food Pantry because I wanted to support a local charity. I have worked with the Franklin Food Pantry before, and the organization is incredible. The Franklin Food Pantry helps to provide food to people who are in need. Being able to be a part of helping someone not to go hungry is one of the most impactful opportunities I could have. In any way I can, I love to help and support my community.” –Kate Kate has been coming to physical therapy for the past couple months for an ankle injury from gymnastics. She is consistently a ray of sunshine as she is always upbeat and energetic for her appointments. She is back to her day-to- day activities pain free and has been working hard to get back to gymnastics. Due to her patience and perseverance to get back to 100%, Kate is our Patient of the Month! We at Professional Physical Therapy would be honored to donate to the charity of your choice if you become our next Patient of the Month!
