Real Student Stories

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

Meet Katisha Green

When asked what first motivated her to get her GED®, Katisha replied, “I always felt a huge void and a sense of insecurity in my life because of my lack of education.”

Katisha heard about GLA through a GED® counselor in 2019 but had a challenging time staying consistent with her GED® classes. “Only my family knows that I have been trying to get my GED® for years, longer than 2019, but I had a lot of setbacks in life.”

Finally, Katisha decided she had to push through those hurdles to reach her goal. She knew she needed to make a change within herself and did not want to let another opportunity pass by without jumping at the chance to achieve something. She made it her goal to pursue her GED® in 2021 at GLA.

Her advice to new students is this: “Stay consistent, don’t give up, and do whatever is necessary for you to achieve your goal.” It’s been a long journey, but I made it by the grace of God.”

Katisha’s future goal is to go back to school for her nursing degree. We celebrate your success at getting your GED® and your goal to get your nursing degree, Katisha! Congratulations to you!
