The economy was bad in Nigeria, and it didn’t seem as if things would change any time soon.
Coming to America meant a new beginning and Theodore knew how to speak English; therefore, he didn’t waste any time enrolling in GLA to pursue his GED®. After easily passing Science, Social Studies, and Math, Theodore faced his biggest challenge: passing the Test’s Reading and Language Arts portion. Just as he began preparing for the RLA exam, his father passed away, requiring him to return to Nigeria to arrange the burial.
Upon returning to the States, Theodore found it difficult to return to his studies. Eventually, he took the RLA practice test and missed it by only one point! He wanted to give up, but he stayed with it and here he is with us today.
Theodore advises anyone seeking their GED® to approach the challenge with determination. He believes that determination is the key to success. Success has a price, and that price is hard work.
Currently, Theodore works as a healthcare provider, He plans to become a registered nurse and, eventually, a real estate giant. Theodore believes that, with God at the center of his life, anything is possible – including being GLA’s first millionaire alumni!
Today, Theodore walks across the stage in memory of his father and in honor of his family. Congratulations to you, Theodore Chuks!
