Abigail's Story



I used to be a girl who did not achieve her goals, but now that has changed. February 4, 2002, I started taking GED classes at DeNeuville Learning Center. I attended four days a week for two hours at night.

At first I was nervous, but once I met the Sisters and my teachers, all my worries were gone. I had the help of excellent teachers and the staff was great. It was the answer to all my prayers.

Not only have I gained mentally, but I've made new friends along with important people willing to help me. I've successfully taken my GED and passed. I am now studying for my ACT test and filing out financial aid forms for college. I have accomplished a lot with the help of DeNeuville Learning Center, and I'm very thankful I was lucky enough to hear about DeNeuville.

Thanks a lot,
Abigail

 

 

 

April



Hello, my name is April. I am twenty years old, and I'm a GED graduate from DeNeuville Learning Center. I heard of DeNeuville in December of 2001 and I thought a lot about it. I was really nervous, but I decided to give it a shot. So, in January of 2002, I entered the GED program at DeNeuville Learning Center.

My first experience was meeting Sr. Lakshmie; she welcomed me into the school and I wasn't as nervous after that. I have found all my teachers to have been very patient and loving. Our classes were difficult at times, but I hung in there and gave it all I had. I always felt a sense of peace here and everyone always smiles. My baby sister died in April of 2002, and I don't think I would have done so well without the love and help of all the Sisters and my teachers.

I have not decided where I will go from here. It was a long year for me, but I knwo that God and special people brought me here. I also know God, my family, and special people will help me and encourage me in my next step.

Thank you,
April
