Over 20 Million Adults
That’s how many have successfully passed their high school equivalency test. So why wait?
LET’S GET STARTED"I want to get my education for my daughters, so that we can have a better life. My daughters have inspired me simply by growing up. I’ve noticed how things aren’t so easy when you’re a single parent, and I want to show them that just because their mommy is raising them alone doesn’t mean she has to stop everything when something gets in her way."
