Samuel Phiri moved from Africa to the United States in 2021. It can be hard to start again in a new country, especially without a GED. "This is my word to the youngsters out there: Whenever you have time, when you're still young, go back and do school. Know who you want to be. It can only be you," he said.

Nicole Mitchell signed up for the Library's GED Test® Prep classes so she could apply for college. "You have to have your GED or a high school diploma to move forward," she said. "My aunt, she lives in the area. She knows a lot about adult learning and she recommended Jacksonville Public Library."
