“I recently had knee surgery and have been out of work for a while. I got bored being at home and not having much to do on bed rest, but a former MassLINKS student told me about MassLINKS. I looked into it and decided to enroll. That decision was the best decision I made. MassLINKS gave me the courage to pursue my GED while at home. I don’t feel pressured, and I work at my own pace. I have now passed 3 out of 4 tests. Confidence and courage go a very long way. Thank you, MassLINK,S for all of your support. The staff is so amazing.”
