Much of my life has been about caring for other people. I cared for my husband and my children. Now, I am on my own. I need to care for myself and think about who I am. The GED is my first step toward my goal: finding something meaningful to do with my life.
This goal is not as clear-cut as goals like becoming a nurse or a pharmacist. However, defining what the goal means is part of the goal. The first step I will take is to try to understand what it most meaningful to me. Do I want to work toward a greater social good? Should I concentrate on bringing small pleasures to people?
Once I understand my priorities, I need to look for an activity that will work with my priorities. This may mean finding a new career, or it may mean finding volunteer work to fit into my life. Either way, the skills I've learned while studying for my GED will help me write a resume, apply for positions, and talk with people.
I look forward to using my growing skills in something that I find fulfilling. I am happy to have spent my life caring for my family, and I am equally happy to now have time to pursue new interests. Defining those interests is a journey that is just beginning.

The main idea is pretty good, but it's kinda weak like to say your goal is to figure out your goal, y'know. Organization is pretty good, too, but I guess the ending could be better, maybe. I don't know. The writing style and content I marked down some, cuz the sentences seem kinda short or something, and like I said, it's a pretty weak goal, you know. Still, I bet you do real good on the GED with an essay like this, Dudette.
