Reina Bueso is a 20-year-old woman who works in a downtown restaurant and would like to earn her GED and qualify for a better-paying job. She dropped out of school in 9th grade to support her family and came to the Literacy Council this past summer for help with improving her literacy, math, and English skills so she could enter the National External Diploma Program (NEDP).
Tutor Ellen Riley has been working with Reina since August. Once Reina qualifies for the NEDP, Ellen will continue to work with her until she completes the program and earns her high school diploma.
