“I had been with Harnett County Literacy for two years from 2011-2013. It was difficult for me at the beginning, because I could not read, write or understand English. I completed the most advanced level instruction material from “Challenger Adult Reading Series” with eight level books. In 2013, I enrolled in the GED Program. I feel so proud to share with you that I graduated and completed my GED within a year. Now, I am studying ESL classes at Central Carolina Community College in Lillington. Two weeks ago, I registered in Career Readiness Certification Program. My goal is to get the certification before the end of the year. My future plans are to own a restaurant, until then, I am preparing myself, learning more and more about the necessary business skills needed.”
