Marie, a Filipino student from Hong Kong, decided to get her GED to further her education in another country and to make a better career choice. She realized that obtaining a college degree would allow her to live her ideal life.
“GED is an opportunity for everyone looking to do better in life, as well as a ticket for people looking to further their education in another country.”
She had been a domestic helper for over ten years and lacked the credentials to pursue higher education. She resolved to work hard and finish the GED in a few months, knowing that she is the source of helping her family build a better future and make them proud.
Marie wants to apply for college in Canada at Algonquin College in Ontario now that she has earned her credential. She intends to enroll in a two-year practical nursing program and return to the Philippines with a higher level of confidence, knowing it is not too late for her to step up and achieve her greatest ambitions.
