Name: Sakina

What motivated you to get your GED? I finally realized when I enrolled in Devry University that I have to take the GED, due to my high school gave me the certificated. If it wasn’t for Devry University, I would have never known about it.

How have your friends and family helped you? Yes, my family and my amazing friends has been always been there to encourage, support and help me.

What problems have you faced? I faced problems when it came to my disability, I struggled to provide them understanding of my disability–that I need extra time and so on. I have to pay attention every time in the class and no interpreters for my needs while taking a GED.

What do you hope to gain from getting your GED? After I graduate from the GED, I wanna go to every different college with no barrier, so I can continue working on becoming a graphic designer and chef. There are many more things that I wanna to do for my future.
