I still remember the sinking feeling during a job interview when I was asked, “Do you have a high school diploma?” My heart sank as I shook my head, realizing this barrier had blocked my path to better opportunities for years. Despite my skills, the lack of a diploma meant limited job options and stagnant pay.
Discovering the Online Diploma Option
The question lingered: how could I earn my diploma while juggling a full-time job and family commitments? Traditional high school wasn’t feasible, but then I discovered accredited online high school diploma programs. Could it really be that simple? I researched and found programs designed for adults like me, allowing me to study at my own pace from the comfort of home.
