Martin is 23 year old from Los Angeles. The last grade he completed was 10th grade. He was homeless and living in a tent in Los Angeles. Martin found Children of the Night through a drop in center in Hollywood, My Friend's Place, and began his GED assessment online with our call center on September 20, 2014.
Since then we have prepared him for the GED and obtained his identification from the Mexican Consulate. So far, Martin has passed 3 of the 4 GED sections.
He will test for the math portion July 30th and we anticipate his successful completion of the GED.
Martin wants to be a computer programmer and our next step will be to enroll him in Los Angeles Community College.
Martin represents one of the 132 students who have completed our GED assessment and is currently working toward successful completion of the GED required to pursue a career that will permanently remove him from the streets of our city.
