When BJ started his work in the Learning Center, he tested at a 5th grade level in reading, language, & math. He felt that not completing school would continue to hang over his head until he finally committed to pursuing his GED. Though he admits that it was often difficult to remain consistent & put forth his full effort, Mrs. Reagan pushed him to reach his potential through Our House’s educational program. Thanks to her encouragement and the support of other Our House staff, BJ has finally achieved his goal & can move forward with his future. His advice to other students: If I can do it, you can do it!
