Community Learning Center
has given me the chance to make my dream
come true. I can
get an education, improve my
skills, then go on to get
a job and be happy in life.
The most important thing that I've learned
is to maintain self-discipline to make my future. —
Maria
I have learned to pronounce words and have developed my reading and
mathematics skills at Community Learning Center. You are
never too old to get your GED.
— Beverly
At CLC, they are teaching me how to do math. I
have learned how to do
algebra and geometry. — Vera
I don't feel like I quit anymore. This is my other chance.
I can do anything I put my mind to with practice and
dedication.
— Stephanie
I learn more about reading, math, English,
and word meanings
by coming to Community Learning Center. — Del
Because
of CLC my life has changed for the better. I am more
confident
about myself and getting my GED in the future. I can feel it in my
heart that I am going to succeed in completing one of my goals in life.
I will be proud
of
myself standing in my cap and gown with my family and friends there to
watch me receive my GED. I have learned that no matter what
life
throws your way or what mistakes you make you can always change and
improve your situation for the better. Without a good
education
you won't be able to move up in the world or better yourself or get a
good job. Education is power. It can open up so
many
possibilities. No matter how old you are, never give up. Keep on
trying harder and harder. Be patient. The outcome will be
worth
it. — Jovonna
Community Learning Center has helped me realize that I can do this. I
come
to class so that I can learn and not give up on
myself. I am being taught things I had forgotten about —
algebra and
writing. I refuse to give up learning at CLC. Education is a
powerful tool in life. CLC has brought back the strength to achieve my
GED. I'm not lost anymore. CLC has taught me what I needed to
move forward with my education. I am on my way to a better future,
thanks to CLC.
— Carol
At Community Learning Center I
have learned a lot. The most important thing I have learned is
that I have achieved a whole lot. The keys are studying hard,
concentrating well, and having a clear, alert mind. — Adolph
CLC has made a big difference in my life. Now I am able to do
fractions,
and I feel my reading and understanding have improved. My writing
skills are better, too. I believe I can make it through to my GED by
studying harder. —
Jean
At Community Learning Center I can go further with my education and
soon change my career. I'm learning all the math that I never learned
because I dropped out of school. — Gena
CLC changed my life because I feel motivated to study English to have
more opportunities. The most important thing I've learned is to read
English. — Jose
