“Like most things in my life, the initial decision to take the GED classes was motivated by my family. One day after offering advice to my grandchild he replied, “Why should I take advice from a high school drop out, who doesn’t even have a job?” Shortly after, I decided to make some changes in my life, such as getting back into the work force and completing my high school education.
“Without the GED I would have been lost. My greatest achievement from taking the GED class is the respect I’ve earned from others, especially my family. Most important is the self respect I’ve regained, along with a new outlook on life.
“You could say, it has made a new man out of me. I know now who I am, and who I was always meant to be.”
