My name is Dulce. I am 33 years old, married and a full-time mother with three children- 2 boys and a girl.
My story begins with a friend of mine who told me about The Literacy Alliance, and I was already considering the possibility of getting my high school equivalency (HSE) diploma. I contacted the TLA office and got signed up for the next orientation.
I was excited to start my first day in the Summit AM classroom, and right away, I liked my teacher, Amy, who helped with my learning goals. I enjoyed all the subjects I was introduced to, but my focus subject, Language, became my favorite subject. I started to see progress in my studies which made me want to do even better and not miss class. The Summit AM tutors helped me a lot, especially with my math, and I also liked my classmates.

I thought the college and career exploration was fascinating and informative. The Ivy Tech Tour that our class went on was great for me, and I was excited to be on an actual college campus.
I now have a desire to go back home and teach English to those needing it in the community.
I’ve completed the HSE testing and now have my HSE diploma. It is truly a wonderful feeling knowing I have achieved this goal. Thank you to The Literacy Alliance for this opportunity to get my HSE diploma.
