GED Dreams at a Texas Restaurant | Lubbock News

At Leal’s Mexican Restaurant in Lubbock, Texas, employees are turning their lives around with a free GED program that meets Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings. Guided by life coach Xandrea Pierce, the initiative has helped workers earn high school diplomas after years of putting education on hold — one math test at a time. Participant Assiria Ramos-Schaffer, who left school 21 years ago, is now closing in on her diploma, fueled by grit and hope. Pierce wants to show the entire restaurant industry that learning never ends — and anyone can start again. “Do it,” she says. “It’s possible.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
