My name is Fara Ramirez.
I am 30 years old, and I completed my GED certificate
in August.
I think that all women
like me are mothers, spouses,
and many of us work full-time
and this becomes one of our challenges
in realizing our own education.
This is the reason why
I stalled my education for a while.
We all have our goals in life
and continuing my education is a personal goal.
I needed to start and take small steps to move forward.
I would like to study and work as a social worker;
and now that I completed my GED certificate,
my doors are opening at Palo Alto College.
My children are my motivation in pursuing my goals.
I want them to be proud of me.
As a parent you try to motivate and tell
your children to study and to obtain an education.
I want them to see that
I am not just saying it,
but I am taking action
and realizing my dreams.
My experience has been wonderful!
I was privileged to have an excellent instructor,
Mr. Victor Gonzales.
He guided me and explained to all of us
with such patience for all of us.
English is my second language, and I am learning it.
The possibility of taking the class in Spanish
gave me the ability to complete
and understand much faster.
Thank God I was able to finish!
I always remember
the advice my father gave me since I was young,
"There is nothing a parent can pass down
to his children more than an education."
You don't understand this until you are a parent
and you realize why it is
important to continue your education.
Having completed my GED recently
has helped open doors
toward finishing my education.
I want a career in social work because I think
it is one of the most beautiful and rewarding careers
because you are helping people.
I am very grateful and I want to thank
everyone that works in support of this program,
along with facilities and resources that
help provide the opportunity for us.
More than anything, the level of help financially
and with the GED exam process.
I loved that about the program,
and it is the reason why I came to Palo Alto College
to finish my studies.
Thank you!
