SUCCESS STORIES
Craig Buechel
East Jordan
Health problems kept Craig Buechel from completing high school. He ended up with a low paying job and finally decided he wanted more than that. He attended the East Jordan Adult Education Learning Lab where he earned his GED. "During the ceremony I was crying because I was so happy I was able to do it," said Buechel. He hopes to become a counselor or a psychiatrist.
