High Scool Diploma
It’s never too late to dream!
As Vonda served lunch to Rhonda and her family she asked “what do you do for a living?” Rhonda told her that she was an instructor to help women earn their GED (General Equivalency Diploma). Vonda had dropped out of high school and had thought many times about earning her GED. She found it more difficult to encourage her children to be diligent with their education when she had failed to do the same.
Rhonda encouraged her to come to the Joshua Resource Center………….Vonda thought it was too late in her life to do that and declined………….
It’s never too late to dream!
