Edgar describes himself in high school as a troubled kid who did not care much for school and just wanted to earn money. He dropped out of high school in the 9th grade to get a job.
Fast forward several years and Edgar was a husband and father of two when he began to realize the value of education. As he investigated the possibility of getting his GED®, he tried three different GED® programs, but it was only when he found the GLA Bootcamp program that things finally clicked.
At GLA Edgar felt supported and encouraged by the staff. He had a teacher who explained things well and answered his questions. His most challenging subject was Science, but Edgar persevered and eventually passed after the second attempt.
Edgar would like to thank his wife Ellie as well as his children who kept him motivated. He is proud that he has set a good example for them.
Edgar plans to attend college, where he would like to get a degree in construction.
