“I am the director of the GED Scholars Initiative and a graduate student at Kent State University. I have been in the Ohio National Guard for over 10 years. I had some setbacks, but through it all, I am in the place where I know I belong. Oh yeah! I did it all with a GED!” –– Brian White
	“I withdrew from school at age 15, got my GED at 17 and now at 19 (inspired by my baby daughter), I am beginning college at KSU. I spent the past few years getting back on my feet, and when I graduate, I hope to help others!” –– Katrina Phillips
	“Who would have thought that a teenage mother, high school drop out, and GED recipient would be in the top 15% of the junior class at Kent State? You just have to believe in yourself when it seems unbelievable. I did it. So can you!” –– Laura Durst
