Real Student Stories

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

Meet Michael Henson

Although Michael had a good high school experience, he decided that it was more important to get a job, so he dropped out before he could graduate.

That is a decision he has lived to regret because, although he has a decent job, he must work in hot, physically demanding conditions.

Michael decided to get his GED® to unlock new job opportunities. It was while he was doing research on available GED® programs that he found he was eligible for GLA Bootcamp and Goodwill sponsorship. He enrolled in Bootcamp and, even though finding time for class was challenging, Michael was a model student attending regularly and completing his assigned homework.

Michael encourages everyone without a GED® to enroll in classes and to make themselves proud. He credits his wife for her unfailing support and GED® Bootcamp instructor, Mark, for helping him achieve success.

Right now, Michael is deciding on a new career – a commercial driver or a law enforcement officer. Whichever career he decides upon, we are certain he will do well! Congratulations on your achievements Michael, your future is brighter with your GED®!
