Diploma will help 18-year-old to achieve goals

Tue, 08 May 2012 08:00:00 -0400

By Nick Carter

I want to earn my GED® diploma, so I can better my life and get a decent job, so I can support myself for the future. Getting my diploma is very important to me, because I am now 18 years old and am still being supported by my mother. I need this diploma, so I can start supporting myself and make my life better.

I also need this diploma, so I can achieve my goals in life and not worry about money. I was inspired by my uncle to get my diploma because he went through some of the same things I have. He got his GED® diploma and is now the foreman of a paving company.

I am going to get my GED® diploma, so I can have a better life and not worry about money issues or having problems getting a job. I also need my diploma, so I can do something with my life and be happy with what I do. Getting my diploma will be a big achievement for me and will help me get to where I want to be in the future.

Nick enrolled in the Adult Education program in February 2012 and began Official GED® Testing in May. To start your GED® program, call the Adult Education program at 474-7553.
