Real Student Stories

GLA has made a real impact on the lives of real students in our local communities.

Meet Allison Gosnell

Allison got in with a bad crowd in high school. The constant fighting and overall chaos caused her to drop out before getting her diploma.

It was only later when she became pregnant that she started thinking about the importance of her education – she wanted a better life for her son. Her brother had been to Goodwill and learned that Goodwill sponsored the GED® Bootcamp program at GLA.

Allison enrolled in Bootcamp but struggled as she found herself juggling children, household responsibilities, and GED® classes. Nevertheless, she persevered and is now a GED® graduate.

Allison would like to thank her family and friends for their support, especially her husband, Curtis, who has always motivated and encouraged her.

Today Allison is enrolled in Cosmetology school knowing that she can look forward to a brighter future, now that she has her GED®! Congratulations Allison!
