I came to LAI because I failed my high school graduation exam. My school gave me a special education diploma but I did not realize that I could not get in college or a good job without a regular high school diploma. I am at LAI to get my GED. My reading level is up, I am working hard on math and use Aztec (digital learning) four hours every day. LAI also has so many opportunities to help us get ready for the workforce. I have attended workshops that help me fill out job applications, cover letters and update my resume. I am the perfect example of a person who doesn’t let stumbling blocks hold me back from accomplishing my goals. LAI gives adults like me a second chance.

My name is Amber and I came to Literacy Action to conquer my fear of failing academically. After I finish my classes at Literacy Action, I plan to continue my journey with Per Scholas, a school that helps you get an IT certification. Literacy Action has helped people better their education and get better jobs. I believe when I finish I can help encourage others to better their future.
