A 61 year old man completes his bachelor degree in Israel

Yigal Azri completed a bachelor degree in behavioral sciences at the Zefat Academy in Israel.

After spending decades caring for his family and working with at-risk youth, the 61 year old man achieved an academic goal he had previously set aside. Azri faced numerous personal hardships, including the loss of his son and navigating financial debt. He eventually worked at a youth village where he rose from washing dishes to a leadership role.

This professional growth gave him the confidence to enroll in a pre-academic program. Despite facing learning disabilities like dyslexia and attention deficit disorder, he succeeded in his studies. While pursuing his degree, Azri also supported his wife through a life-saving surgery and her subsequent rehabilitation. He continued his education with the support of his instructors and community. Azri now uses his personal journey to inspire the young people he mentors. He is currently considering pursuing a master degree.
