No goal is too big for GED Testing Service national spokesperson and former Senior Aide Louise Sinclair. After earning her GED just before her 80th birthday, Sinclair was searching for ways to reach her next goals: Getting online and enhancing her computer skills.

Sinclair’s dream came true recently when she received a brand new computer, courtesy of Hewlett-Packard and GED Testing Service. The computer was presented by GEDTS Executive Director Joan Auchter and Hewlett-Packard Systems Engineer Eddie Orcutt during a GED test examiners evaluation meeting in Jackson, MS.

Now that she’s got access to the latest technology, Sinclair is excited about setting up her email and getting onto the web. Brenda Brown, Senior Aides Project Director at Copiah-Lincoln Community College, is also thrilled about Sinclair’s gift. “Ms. Sinclair is a great and very deserving lady!” says Brown. Sinclair has praised Copiah-Lincoln College’s staff for going out of their way to help her study for the GED after she had undergone difficult chemotherapy treatments.
