Discover RVR's achievements through inspiring Success Stories of individuals who have risen to fortune, acclaim, or remarkable accomplishments. More Success Stories Jordan Kinsler My goal was to get my High School Equivalency HSE as fast as possible, and I was determined to make it happen. I was always really good at school, but I never liked waking up early and going. The HSE was way more convenient, and it ended up being my favorite part of the week, thanks to an awesome teacher who ensured I was well-prepared. I am proud to have passed the HSE and taken the first step toward my academic journey. Notes you COULD use the keyword "could." I am motivated to better myself thanks to my newborn nephew Expelled from school twice for attendance in 9th and 11th Neve liked school but ended up liking HSE a lot Very cool teacher and classmates My Success Story
