Melanie Salazar is a freshman at Palo Alto College in Texas, and luckily, she has someone familiar by her side: her grandfather.
Eighty-two-year-old Rene Neira is the most popular student on campus, after his granddaughter’s tweet went viral.
“I’m so proud of my grandpa for finishing his first day at PAC this semester!” wrote 18-year-old Melanie on Twitter. “82 years old and not giving up!”
Rene has to finish just one class to earn his associate’s degree in economics.
Melanie told the Huffington Post that she's thrilled that she can have lunch with her grandpa this semester.
