Learner Story
My name is Adrian and I am thirty-three years old. I have a somewhat limited education. I have returned to the Durham Region just over a year ago. I have always wanted to finish my high school diploma but really did not know where to begin. I was lost. So much so that I never told the people near me that I don’t even have my high school diploma.
One day I wondered into the second careers and found a pamphlet. It read The Literacy Council of Durham Region. I phoned and left a message about who I was and what I wanted achieve. Within an hour I had a call back from Brad Cook. Within a few days I was in the office for my first tutoring session. As they say the rest is history. I am moving along well and close to my GED. When that is finished it’s off to college for me.
I never realized how easy it was going to be simply because i had a key tool: The literacy Council of Durham Region.
