Celebrating Heather’s Inspiring Educational Journey as the 1000th GED Graduate with Amazon Career Choice & GEDWorks™
Heather, a working mom and Amazon Career Choice learner, recently achieved an impressive milestone — she is the 1000th graduate of the GEDWorks™ program through Amazon Career Choice. Her journey is one of resilience and drive to provide a better future for her children, along with her employer’s support and academic advising along the way.
For Heather, her children were the driving force behind her decision to pursue her GED. “I want the absolute best for my children,” she shared. “I plan on going to college next spring to further my education and go places I didn’t think I’d ever be able to go. Anything is possible when you set your mind to it! Never give up.”
Earning her GED was more than just a personal achievement — it was a crucial step toward building a brighter future for her family. Now, Heather is focused on continuing her education, with plans to attend college in the spring.
Amazon Career Choice & GEDWorks — partnering for success
Heather’s success story was made possible through Amazon Career Choice; partnering with GEDWorks to offer employees the resources and financial backing needed to complete their GED. “I’m so grateful for this opportunity through Amazon Career Choice. Getting my GED has been super rewarding, personally and for my family,” she said.
As the 1000th graduate of the program, Heather’s success represents Amazon Career Choice ongoing commitment to its employees, empowering them to achieve their educational and career goals.
A strong support system for a smooth learning journey
Heather didn’t walk her journey alone. She credits her husband as one of her biggest supporters, especially during the tough moments when she doubted herself. “Anytime I felt down or felt I couldn’t pass a subject, he was right there motivating me, helping me to believe in myself. When times get hard, he’s always there to lift me back up.”
His encouragement, paired with the guidance from the GEDWorks program, gave Heather the confidence she needed to keep going, even when things felt challenging.
Heather used tools like the Aztec Study Guide to help her prepare for the GED exams. “It helped in so many ways. If I didn’t understand a subject, I’d go through and study, and it would help me to understand what I couldn’t.”
Inspiring others for more bright futures
Heather is proud to be a role model for her peers at Amazon. Her advice to other employees just starting their GED journey is simple: “Don’t ever give up, believe in yourself, have motivation, and just know you can do it!”
Her story is a powerful reminder that with determination, support, and the right opportunities, anyone can reach their educational goals. When asked how she would be to recommend the GEDWorks program to others, Heather instantly replied: “10 out of 10.”
As the 1000th GEDWorks graduate through Amazon Career Choice, Heather’s journey is an inspiring example of the power of education and vibrant growth potential when companies invest in their employees’ futures.
