medical school at 75?

1.       “Reuse provides maximum functions for given material and energy input. Use what you have until it can no longer function. Then it’s time to recycle”.
2.       I don’t know if I would say that him keeping information keeps the intent but it defiantly keeps the reader’s attention. The intent of this article is to show and tell us that we can do what we want no matter what the situation. The authors shows us that at the age of 75 he can go back to school, and not just any school but Harvard medical school. He tells us how he had been interested in medicine when he was young and then found out it was not for him but recently realized he had a new interest for it again. He also tells us that he did not just make the choice to go back to medical school but he also decided to go green.
I believe that this strategy is not the best way to get his intent across. This would be a great way to keep a reader’s attention, and could maybe more useful in a n article dealing with one topic. This strategy  in this article seems to just confuse things making it difficult to figure out if the intent is to tell us about him going green or him going to medical school.
