Real Student Stories

Meet AlecZondra Walker
For her, finishing the GED was a deeply personal achievement. She made the choice because she knew it was something she needed to do—not only for herself, but for her son. She wanted to be an example he could look up to. More than a milestone, it was a promise to complete something she had started over a decade ago—a step toward growth, healing, and purpose.

Meet Karli Valdivia
Karli celebrates the triumph of hope, hard work, and determination. Not so long ago, she faced challenges that she thought would keep her down forever. She left high school after 9th grade, feeling lost and without the support of anyone. She struggled with addiction, and the path ahead looked hopeless. Yet in all the darkness, she found light in her faith and the love for her baby girl. She had finally found the strength to say, “I will do better.”

Meet Quinton Suber
Quinton has always been a hard worker. He balanced school and a job in high school and graduated with an occupational diploma, eventually becoming a licensed hairstylist. But when he tried to apply to Greenville Tech to study nursing, he hit a roadblock: his diploma didn’t qualify. That was when he turned to the Greenville Literacy Association.

Meet Brandon Pietraschke
Brandon’s educational journey was anything but traditional. After grappling with some unexpected challenges and attending multiple high schools, Brandon left school before graduating.

Meet Elizabeth Cuevas
Elizabeth’s story is one of strength, love, and family. She didn’t go to high school — instead, she became a mom at 18 and poured her energy into raising her growing family of four kids. Life was full, and school didn’t feel like a priority.

Meet Johnathan Benson
Johnathan found High School loud, distracting, and not the right fit for him. At the start of his senior year, school just didn’t seem worth the trouble, so he walked away. But eventually, Johnathan saw that earning a GED could help him achieve success in his greatest passion - the automotive field.
