Student Profiles
Meet
David
My
name is David Jacobs. I received my GED in 2002, after being
home schooled for the last three years of my high school career.
From the very first moment of orientation I could tell that
my experience here at Highland’s GED program would be
productive. |
|
Everyone I encountered in the program: teachers, staff, and administrators,
were always extremely dedicated to their jobs and the entire adult
education community. They took on a personal interest in every student,
which proved their dedication. After I received my GED, I went through
a series of college transition workshops, offered through the adult
education program, in preparation to enter college, I am now in
my second semester as a full time student at Highland Community
College, with a 4.0 GPA. I know that I owe a lot to the staff and
teachers in the GED program for helping me build a foundation for
personal growth, and for giving me the confidence to achieve my
goals.
Meet
Nichole
After
completing her GED and working for a year, Nichole returned
to the Adult Education Department at Highland Community College
for transition assistance and a little help getting started
in a college degree program. |
|
She said, “GED Plus was helpful to me because I did not know
where to begin to apply for admission. The program gave me good
advice and support and answered my questions. GED Plus paved the
way to a smooth entrance into college, and I think I will be more
successful in my first course.”
