Recent Graduate "No matter what situations or trials you go through, never give up. This is one of the most exciting feelings I've felt! To get your GED, you have to have a lot of self- motivation. It was a lot harder than high school, but it means a lot more to me because I had to work harder for it. I live to learn and learn to live." DEVONNA

Recent Graduate KP "The most important thing I've learned is that giving up is not acceptable. Although it might be hard, persistence is key. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Thumbs up! I hope everybody passes the test. Don't give up!"
