On October 28th, at the 13th Annual Adult Education and Family Literacy Conference, Anthony Frye was honored as West Virginia's GED Student of the Year for 2009. Anthony, his family, Linda Jones (his GED teacher), and Dr. Steven L. Paine (State Superintendent of Schools) are pictured above.
When asked if Mrs. Jones had other students who received this award she replied, "No, and I don't expect to have another one for the rest of my career."
In his award speech, Anthony said, "My mom was a great inspiration and I already got a job!" Very loud applause followed.
Congratulations Anthony! Getting the GED involved a ton of commitment and hard-work.
More on the job in a later post.
