What Adult Education Means To Me

Adult Education means a lot to me because it allows people like me to complete their education. It’s important to me to complete my education because I want to be a good example for my children. When I get my G.E.D. I will feel better about myself and also be able to take college classes.

I want my children to be successful in life, and I feel that I should set a good example for them. I’ve tried to teach them to be honest, trustworthy and to make the right choices. However, I feel that by showing them that I’m trying hard, I am teaching them to keep trying and not to give up on education.

In continuing my education, I’m also gaining confidence and self-respect. As I progress through each level of my studies, I get more confident about myself, and know that I will complete my G.E.D. in the near future.

Last summer, I was attending Yavapai College, in preparation for a course in Computer Analysis. I wanted to apply for a Pal Grant, but in order to get the grant, I had to take a test. I failed the math section and tutoring was recommended. Instead of getting tutoring, I thought I might as well try to get my G.E.D., so I enrolled at Victory.

I’m glad that I enrolled and have the opportunity to complete my education and be a good example for my children. I am looking forward to going to college and getting a certificate for Computer Analysis. Then I can fix computers when they’re not working properly.

“Thank God” for adult education!
