I was disappointed last year when I applied and was turned down, most probably because of my age, remeber such opportunities were never there when I was young. This makes the old folks like me feel poor in knowledge when young people have experience and Knowledge I never got an opportunity to have. Please do consider us when we apply.
Regards.
