GED Checked off the List!


I started coming to the Esther House Resource Center on Feb, 01, 2010. I was a little worried about the new change that was about to happen, getting to go to classes again. How weird I thought, but little did I know that I would go from picking up trash for my hours of k-tap, to getting to study classes such as Computer, Spanish, Parenting, Household Management, Book Club, Financial Peace, Nutrition, Gardening, Sewing, and Study Hall. Since I have been coming here, these classes have really helped me from learning how to save money with Dave Ramsey in Financial Peace, to the simple ways of making cleaning house an easy, ever day hassle free chore with the Household Management. But most importantly, I had a chance to study for my G.E.D during Study Hall. This class really came helped me because in April 2010, I passed my G.E.D test!

Since I have passed my test, Mrs. Kelly Guffey, the president of the Esther House Resource Center, has given me many different ideas of what is possible for me in the days to come, such as LPN classes and so many more ideas. I have really enjoyed the conversations with Mrs. Kelly. She has really showed me that there is more to life for single mothers than to just sit at home and do nothing but raise your child/children. There is so much hope out there for young ladies such as you. There's a song by Reba McEntiire that really inspired me also. 'Is There A life Out There" She sang of a mother that wants a life outside her home but at the same time she doesn't want to leave her family. In that video her family is there supporting her dreams when she graduates from college. So I follow that dream that there will be a time that my children will get to stand there and be proud of their mother for finishing college. I do owe many thanks to Mrs. Kelly for opening the doors for me an many other lady's dreams to come true. I will forever be on your side. LOL!
