It's been positive for them. When they go to high school, that's where it will be more challenging. Like I said, I didn't know how to divide, so when they get older, I'll know how to teach them. That's where it will start.

Once you know math really good, you will see things in a different light. It will help me financially because I will go to college and do things that I never thought of.

It's hard with homework and things like that. I don't really have time to set out and make a schedule. I mainly try to focus when I'm here, but I'm doing good overall.

I had seen the advertisement at the Department of Human Services. I didn't know what Families First was all about. When I went there, in order to get the benefits, you had to go to school, and I never thought about getting my GED or improving myself to go to college. Ever since I came, I've considered that.

The response was overwhelmingly positive from the East Texas High School coaches.
