Real Student Stories

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

Meet Marley Highlander

Meet our GED® Graduate, Marley Highlander

Covid hit during Marley’s Freshman year of high school. Like many other students, she was suddenly forced to learn online from home. Also like many students, she became overwhelmed and had a tough time coping with the challenges that online learning presented. Marley decided to drop out of high school and pursue a GED® instead.

It was Marley’s aunt who discovered our program and Marley was grateful to find that we offered in-person classes so that she wouldn’t have to study online.

The biggest challenge was having to study subjects she wasn’t very good at or interested in. However, she discovered her instructor, Mark, to be an engaging teacher from whom she learned a lot.

Marley would like to thank her mother for taking her to and from classes and for supporting her throughout this journey.

We here at GLA say, “Strike while the iron is hot and while all that knowledge is fresh in your mind!” Congratulations Marley on getting your GED®.
