June 29, 2014

St. Joseph, Missouri - Graduating from a public high school is a part of life for many, but for those in the Amish community their educational journey can be a little different.

"I had an 8th grade education and then three and a half years of theology school," said Jacob Yoder who grew up in an Amish community. "When I was 13, mom and dad moved to Missouri."

So after losing his job and watching his brothers earn theirs, Yoder decided to get his G.E.D.
