Age is only a number, you are as young as you feel.

DNAInfo reported on 100 year old, Madeline Scotto, who continues to educate at a Dyker Heights, Brooklyn school where she attended during her elementary years. Scotto teaches at St. Ephrem’s elementary school, three times a week. Her focus is to help students prepare for a math competition by brushing them up on multiplication and division and how to stay calm while on stage.
