GRADUATES
What Our Graduates Say
My advice to current learners is to lay your fears and ego aside. Take advantage of the resources that are made available to you by BeLit.”
Tamara Deair
Class of 2024 GED Graduate
I want to show my boys that education is the key to a good life.”
Jonathan Norman
Class of 2024 GED/Pre-Apprentice Graduate
Earning my high school diploma is important to me so I can lead by example for my son. It’s been my first life accomplishment. I’ve had quite the struggles trying to get there and now I’m here.”
Aleisha Williams
Class of 2024 GED Graduate
Completing this program is important to me because good English language skills can open up exciting new opportunities and help me reach my full potential, whether for work, travel, or simply personal understanding.”
Sophia Eliezer
Class of 2024 ESL/U.S. Citizenship Graduate
This program was so important for me, because as an immigrant, learning English can help me to adapt easily in this new universe of possibilities and it can help me to connect with more people from all the world who speak English.”
Fabiola Fils
Class of 2024 ESL/U.S. Citizenship Graduate
Coming from a French speaking country, learning English and being a GED graduate in a short time is incredible for me. That was possible because of the support I received from my teachers and all BeLit staff.”
