Kimberly Quinonez needed a high school diploma to advance her career. That's when she enrolled in Penn Foster. Determined to graduate, Kimberly worked through our online, self-paced High School Diploma program. "I basically kept studying and I never gave up on myself," she said. Kimberly was able to transfer credits, which allowed her to finish the program in two months. "I always dreamed of graduating and walking across the stage and throwing my cap up into the air," she said. "And I got the chance to do that at Penn Foster. That changed my life." Once she graduated, Kimberly began working for the Hampton County Sheriff's Department full time, a position she was only able to volunteer for until she received a high school diploma. Kimberly recently received a promotion and is graduating with her associate's degree in social work, and plans to earn her bachelor's degree next. "I am truly grateful for Penn Foster and the education that this school provides," she said. "I have excelled in my career and education since being a student here." Listen to her story.
