"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."

"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!"
