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.
Study Skills Classes
Study Skills are important tools for the person going on to college. At the Northwest Michigan Works! Service Centers, Study Skills workshops are offered once a month by Adult Education Learning Lab instructors. Workshop participants learn how to improve their reading comprehension and effectively read a textbook. The process of taking meaningful notes and preparing for tests is also reviewed. Time management is another important skill for a successful college experience.
