Author Ebony Hardnett

How did you feel returning to school? What challenges have you faced in getting your GED/HSED?

At first, I struggled with it. I was going back to school at 36, a full-time single parent, so I struggled at first. But then I just figured I had to complete it because I have children that are looking up to me, and I have to be about it. And it’s not so much just saying you have to finish school; I have to show them that I could do it too.

How did you feel returning to school? What challenges have you faced in getting your GED/HSED?

Honestly, just the thought of returning to school was super exciting! I can say I was also nervous at first.

The only challenge I faced was trying to stay motivated and determined while dealing with school and work at the same time.

How has your work with the Literacy Services of Wisconsin benefitted you or helped you feel more comfortable with yourself?

Being in the literacy services program was like a new door opening for me. Wanting to finish school and having Kathrine was the biggest motivation for me.

You talk about being an artist and a musician in your biography. What led you to those art forms?

I feel like it runs in my blood; it’s genetic. My family is full of artists who draw and make clothes. And I create music every day. My son creates music. For me, it helps me out mentally. It’s just something I enjoy doing.”
