Belen's Story "One more chance for a good education"
The Adult Basic Education Center is a great place for people like me that dropped out of school and want to start all over by getting the GED. I look at it as one more chance for a good education, because you need a good education to have a good career.
I prefer to attend ABE classes for my GED because the teachers make sure you understand the work you do before you take the GED test.
Many things you need to know are very difficult. I dropped out of school when I was in the seventh grade. I do regret it.
If it wasn't for the Adult Basic Education Program, I don't think I could do it on my own. I have been here for about six months, and I have improved.. The teachers say I might get my GED in about two more months.
Arizona Call-A-Teen is a great place to attend for your GED.
