Literacy
ACE Student of the Month: Kaleysue L.

Kaleysue's journey is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to pursue your goals. After leaving school in the ninth grade, she faced the challenge of returning to the classroom and overcoming the feeling that she had fallen too far behind. Instead of giving up, she chose to keep moving forward.

Motivated by the memory of her Nana, who always wanted her to graduate, and encouraged by supporters who believed in her, Kaleysue enrolled in ACE's GED program and has worked hard every step of the way. She credits her success to determination, perseverance, and the willingness to take that first difficult step back into education.

One of her proudest accomplishments is simply returning to school. Her advice to others who may be considering the same path is simple: it's worth it.

After earning her GED, Kaleysue plans to attend cosmetology school and pursue a career she is passionate about. We are proud of all she has accomplished and look forward to celebrating her future successes.

Congratulations, Kaleysue, on being named ACE Student of the Month!

Ready to start your own success story? Registration for GED, ESOL, and Career Certificate classes opens July 20. Join ACE and take the first step toward your future.
