from Chattanooga Times Free Press, December 14, 2010.
"We all know how important it is to gain as much good education as we can. It can open avenues of enjoyment, opportunity and economic achievement.
But for varied reasons, some people’s education may be interrupted along the way. That’s why it is a wonderful thing that our community offers opportunities for enterprising people to earn “general educational development” — GED — diplomas by picking up special studies where they left off.
Last Sunday at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, 40 eager adults were awarded their GED diplomas after the successful completion of their course. In addition to the satisfaction of personal achievement, they will have broader opportunities for personal economic achievement for the rest of their lives.
The new GED graduates deserve commendation for their enterprise and achievement. We wish them much greater successes."
