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.
But when her husband, Ernie, earned his GED in 2023, something in Elizabeth’s mind shifted. Ernie encouraged her to take that first step to achieving her GED to show her kids, her parents, and herself what she was capable of.
Juggling kids, home life, and taking classes was no small feat. But Elizabeth made it work — with support from her whole family. Her high school-aged kids helped her study, cheered her on, and made her homework a team effort.
Elizabeth’s message to others thinking about getting their GED? Don’t wait. Life gets busier as you get older, but it’s never too late to take that leap.
Elizabeth, your dedication and resilience are beautiful. You’ve set such a powerful example for your children, and now with your GED in hand, a bright new chapter in your life is just beginning.
