| Some 23 years ago, José Estevan Gonzalez dropped out of high school, a decision that haunted him ever since. As a man
entering his 40s, his entire life had been one unfulfilling, low -paying job after another - and his future looked no different. One day a few years ago his employer offered to pay for him to go to college - but José couldn't take advantage of the offer because he didn't have a high school diploma. He enrolled in The Literacy Center's GED program. He quickly earned his GED and also passed the placement test for college with high scores. Today he's enrolled in college, on his way to making a career and better life for himself. José is also proud to be featured in United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley's "Who's the Next Lehigh Valley Hero" Campaign brochure!
