Believing That You Can
will see the accomplishment and commitment I put into
completing school and getting my diploma. I hope then that
they get motivated to do as I did.

High School. He works hard in class, stays focused, helps his peers in
class, and bakes the World’s GREATEST pineapple upside down
cupcakes.
My Goals and Ambitions
Three of my goals are to improve my English, get my
high school diploma and start my own business. One of my
goals is to improve my English. I study English to help my
children with their homework. I also advise them that
education is very important to reach their goals in the future
and have a better life. Another goal is to take my GED test
and look for other jobs. It is not easy for me because I am
dad and mom at the same time, but it is not impossible for
me because God always stays with me. My third goal is to
have my own business. I pray so that God helps me to
reach my goals. This is my American Dream and my
ambitions for now and in the future.

My Educational Goals
It is important to me that I reach my goals. My goals
are to receive a High School diploma, go to college, and
start my career. I am currently enrolled in GED classes at
Dunbar Community School. To be successful in these
classes, I must be prayerful and stay focused and
determined. Studying can be difficult at times but I must
remain focused in spite of the work involved in the process.
I cannot let anything distract me. I must listen to my
teachers and study as much as possible. It takes hard work.
Dropping out of High School was not a wise thing to do. I
was in my twelfth year of school when I dropped out of
school. Now I’m back in school studying to get my
diploma. The thought of giving up is not in my vocabulary.
Getting my diploma is something I have always wanted.
