Graduate Jennifer Mitchell’s Advice: Don’t wait!
“Do it. Don’t sit at home. Don’t wait 19 years like I did. There is NOTHING to be scared of.”
That’s Jennifer Mitchell’s advice to anyone in the region who finds themselves lacking their diploma. Jennifer is a recent GED graduate from Big Stone Gap, and she will be the first to tell you – it wasn’t easy. But, she says, “it was SO worth it.”
Graduate Whitley Williams – “There is no time limit”
“The road wasn’t easy, and there were times I wanted to give up. The good thing is you can take the process as fast or slow as you would like until you complete your GED. There is no time limit. No matter how long it takes you or what may come your way, you CAN push through and keep going. I promise the struggles will be worth it!”
