Believing That You Can
I’ll know it’s because of them. I only wish more people got
the same help because it’s worth it in the end. I know all
my test scores are way up, and that’s because of them. So
at the end of the day I know I’ll get there to get my GED,
then who knows what I’ll do next?

My Experience in Adult Education
How important is adult education? In the entire world
education is the key for success. People go to school to have
a better life. This is the reason it’s never too late to learn, no
matter what the age of the person. In a few words, I’ll
explain the value of adult education. It’s a pleasure for me
to talk about my experience in adult education and literacy.
As an adult, going to school to learn English has demanded
a lot of effort from me to improve my English. If I would
like to have a limited accent in English I need to practice
every single day. Practice is the only way one succeeds.
When I was in class with my teacher and the other students,
we considered ourselves as a family. Each of us always
tried to help other students. The teacher is always ready to
help us improve our ability to have better skills with our
speech and grammar. In my way of thinking I can suggest
to every adult not to be scared to go to school, no matter
what your age because education is very important for your
success.

Adult Education and Literacy
Literacy refers to the ability to read and write. Along
with reading and writing, an educated person with at least a
high school diploma should be able to critique and
determine the pros and cons of a situation. Since we live in
a world in which most people judge a person’s capability by
his or her level of education, I think getting an education is
a crucial matter. Many people who used to play hooky
decided to go back to school because the world has
changed. They may have dropped out for various life
situations, such as raising a family or financial difficulties.
