E called today to tell me she had just found out online that she passed the GED exam--and not by just a little bit! She had an average score of 530 which is good enough to enable her to enroll at IUSB. She said she would come back to class to talk to everyone.
E is in her mid-twenties. She has been a dedicated student and very involved in knowing and deciding what she needed to work on. I asked her once if she would have had that kind of motivation when she was 17 or 18 like my younger students who have such poor work habits. I wish I could remember what she said. I know she said she always liked school and liked to read and that certainly helps. She has a ten year old child but I think she said she tried to go to school again after she was born but it just didn't work.
In any case, this was her time to stick with it and do well. And now she can go on with her life.
