Eric Greene
Eric Greene, who recently completed his GED at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College, said he knew he could finish what he started more than 20 years ago because of the faculty. "I thank each and every teacher in this program for giving me the tools I needed," he said. "It's a blessing to have these teachers. I wish I had these teachers when I was in high school. They understand you as a person, whether they are younger or older than I am."
Greene came to A-B Tech in 1985 to get his GED, but got a full-time job and quit coming to classes. He worked at a manufacturing plant for 22 years, never missing a single day, and thought his future was secure. But like so many others, he learned his plant was closing, so he decided to return to A-B Tech to finish what he started nearly a quarter century ago.
"I read a news article about a 75-year-old man getting his GED. I cut out that article and kept it. That man is inspiration," Greene said.
