When Kimeang Chhay first arrived to the United States from Takhmao, Cambodia in 2018, she was enrolled in Dracut High School as a senior because of her age. Without being fluent in English, Chhay passed her Math and English MCAS exams, but struggled with the Biology test. Without it, she was unable to graduate from high school on time.
Chhay was already accepted at Middlesex Community College but needed her diploma in order to start taking classes for her associate degree. Through Middlesex s GED program, Chhay was able to improve her MCAS score to pass the test, earn her diploma and start regular classes. Despite the challenges that delayed her start, her perseverance kept her motivated.
