Dylan Benavidez knew he wanted to get a head start on his adult life. A high achiever, Dylan decided to enroll in Penn Foster to help earn his high school diploma more quickly, giving him more time to dedicate to his job and help his community, which has led to him running for public office this year. “Since a young age I wanted to work hard and get myself out in the working field. At my local high school, they didn’t have an accelerated program to graduate early. I wanted to grow up and enter the workforce, but it still was important to get that quality education and it was important to me to still have that high school diploma.” Listen to his story here.
