Former US Navy SEAL enters Yale as a 52-year-old freshman.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Former Navy SEAL James Hatch says heading to class as a freshman at Yale University is just about as nerve-wracking as preparing for the uncertainty of combat."My experience in academia is somewhat limited, at best," he said."But I want to learn, and I feel this can make me a better person. I also feel my life experience, maybe with my maturity — which my wife would say is laughable — I think I can help some of the young people out.
"I was shocked to get accepted," he said."But my wife told me I would be silly not to take this opportunity, and she's right. So I'm going to do my best, get in there and start swinging." "I think everyone there has a little bit of this 'impostor syndrome' where you feel, 'Oh, my gosh, am I good enough to be here,'" he said.
