44-year-old Sotiria Tsitsari-Triantafyllou, from Kozani hit the highest score in the Department of Occupational Therary at the University of Ptolemaida in West Macedonia.
She resumed her preparation studies in the technical lyceum in order to accomplish what she could not do in her youth.
She choose the specific university in Ptolemaida in order to be close to her children. Two of them are students at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, while her third child is preparing for University exams next year. Her youngest child is 10 years old.
She hit a score of 19,125 points.
The second mother, 47-year-old Smaragda Liatsikou managed also to make her dream come true and passed exams with a score that will allow her to study Medicine.
The mother of two works as a nurse assistant at a private clinic in the city of Volos, Central Greece.
“When I saw the results, I cried for two hours,” she told local media adding that she studied for the exams everywhere possible. “My colleagues at the clinic would hold the books and I would say everything by heart. I am deeply touched,” she said.
She hit a score of 19,400 points.
