2024 GED Graduate, Sarah!
“ Not having a GED was a challenge because jobs need you to have a GED or High school diploma, and it made me feel low about myself. Tutoring helped me get through all the ups and downs with getting a GED. Without the support, I would still not have my GED. I feel like I can advance and have a career. My advice to other GED students is to not lose hope and get discouraged. It gets hard sometimes but it is worth it in the end.” -Sarah
2024 GED Graduate, Zac!
“ The Math was hard but the process was smooth and the experience was great. It was helpful. I felt my life was okay before my GED, but I knew it could be better. I wanted to get my GED because I wanted more opportunities for my life. I feel proud of myself for getting my GED especially after I passed the Math. It was a lot when I realized I did it. I would tell GED students is to listen carefully and be patient. You can’t come in with the mindset that you know it all. Learning is a process.” -Zac
2024 GED Graduate, Crystal!
“I felt that my life lacked opportunity, but I wanted to have an education for myself. The tutoring experience was wonderful and helpful. I would recommend it. I feel more accomplished now having gotten my GED. I would say to GED students that Even if you feel like freaking out or that you can’t do it, don’t give up and keep going. It is worth it and there is help available.” -Crystal
2024 GED Graduate, Dubiel!
Congratulations, Dubiel!
2024 GED Graduate, Dawn!
"I didn’t feel like my life was complete before I got my GED and I felt like I had a big rock on my shoulders. Now it is gone.
My tutor helped me by being so patient with me and teaching me all I needed to know. I am ecstatic to have my GED. I have no idea what’s next but I am looking forward to it. Just keep going. It’s well worth it no matter how frustrating it is. It’s well worth it." -Dawn

2024 GED Graduate, Layena!
"Getting my GED was nerve wracking but with the help of FLC, the process was super easy and smooth. Everyone there helped me not only navigate through the process but helped me gain confidence to earn my GED." -Laynea
2024 GED Graduate, Christian!
"I wasn't even sure if I would ever get done. It was well worth coming to FLC, because I never would have gotten my education any other way. I have been to other programs, FLC helped me the most. Getting tutoring for geometry and math helped me the most." -Christian
2024 GED Graduate, Gary!
"I could not have navigated this system without help. It was too difficult and I didn't know where to start. Thank you Family Literacy Center." -Gary.
2024 GED Graduate, Valory!
"I felt nervous before getting my GED and not confident. It was an enjoyable experience tutoring with Shawna and the one-to-one help was valuable for me. I got immediate feedback and explained how and what to do in the subjects. I think students who want their GED need to come and attend this program. It was way better than trying to do it on my own. I feel more successful and hopeful about my life." -Valory
2024 GED Graduate, Kyle!
Congratulations, Kyle!
2024 GED Graduate, Ricky!
"I was told when I was in school that I wouldn't ever graduate or get my GED. I got cancer and getting a diploma seemed like a dream that wouldn't ever happen. Today I am healthy and I proved to myself and others that I can do anything I set my mind to. Thanks to the support of FLC and my tutors, I am a graduate." -Ricky
2024 GED Graduate, James!
Congratulations James!
2024 GED Graduate, Sophia!
"I felt confused about my life and down about where I was at. Now that I have it, I feel like I am on the right path and starting my career. I loved tutoring. My tutor really focused on what I needed to learn and helped me learn in a way that made sense to me. It was great experience. I start college tomorrow! I'm so excited and thankful!" - Sophia

2023 GED Graduate, Sara!
“Being able to work one on one with someone made everything super simple. Instead of having a teacher trying to focus on everyone in a classroom, you can easily ask for help and have as much time with them as you need. The process was much more enjoyable because my friendship with everyone at Michigan Works/Family Literacy Center and everyone encouraged me to graduate." Sara
2023 GED Graduate, Elizabeth!
Getting your GED is a big achievement! It shows you're determined and believe in yourself. It's like turning challenges into stepping stones and opening doors to new possibilities. Your GED is a symbol of your power to overcome and succeed. Keep going, and embrace a brighter future!
2023 GED Graduate, RJ!
“Initially I had come to FLC only to earn my GED and be done. After meeting with JMG and WIOA through FLC, that’s when I really jumped in full force to use all the resources to help me get my future going! If you have the opportunities, the resources, and the aid, use them!" -RJ
