Student Testimonials

 

“I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to Lou (Tommelleo) and Marsha, and everyone at Madison (Adult Career Center) for helping me become one step closer to making my dreams come true!” -Felicia Perkins





 Rocky just completed Orientation at our W. 5th St. location and is looking forward to attending his GED classes. When asked how his Orientation experience was he said, “I felt very comfortable and welcomed. I learned a lot about what was going to be on each GED test and I really liked getting to learn how to use the calculator. I felt like it was everything I needed to get me prepared for class.” Rocky says that his biggest motivation for earning his high school diploma is “to get ready for my future.” - Rocky Frazier


“Before I entered the ASPIRE program, I was a struggling teen who didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. The staff helped direct me through the process of getting my GED and encouraged me to be something greater! I am now in my 3rd term of my first year of college working towards my Bachelor’s and then plan to get my Master’s degree in Psychology.” -Makayla Javens
