I need my GED now. I’ve got a friend to help me. I’m just trying to get my GED… My goal is to be a strong person.

Rosameria,

It’s tough to get your GED after being out of school for a while, but let’s face it, the world has changed. A GED is more important now than ever. You can get your GED, if you take it one step at a time and stick with it. Having a friend to help and support you is a big point in your favor. More than anything, you’ll need someone to tell you to keep going, to try new things when something isn’t working, and to believe in yourself. A half million people get their GED each year. You can, too!

City and State: flo/mo

What motivated you to get your GED? I am so sick of being in school, and the teachers I have make me feel stupid. No matter how much I study or how hard I try, I just cannot live up to their expectations. I am not failing anything. I am passing all my classes with rather high grades. One honor class is difficult but I am not the only one struggling. I know I will have to wait a little more but that’s why I am beginning the preparations now. I just want to get my life started because I feel like I am falling behind. (more…)

I just wanted to say thanks for all your help. Passged.com is excellent. Thank you. I had problems in math, spelling. 1 time I failed my test, I read my passGED book and studied and passed all my tests. My goal was to get my GED and go college, study computers, web, or assistant medical. Get a big house and live happily, with big money. Get married, have kids, and beer! Thank you.

What motivated you to get your GED? I am very mature for my age because I grew up around only adults, therefore I do a lot of adult things. I am currently home schooled and hold a part-time (almost full-time) job, and I want out of school for now so that I can do nothing but work because my mother is a mom of 3 and single and I would like to help her as much as possible. I just can’t seem to motivate myself to do my school work anymore. I’m very smart if I try hard enough and I think that getting a G.E.D will help in the long run. After 18 I want to go to college to be a nurse or a vet but as for the here and now I need all the work hours I can get. I don’t have time for school. (more…)

The reason I want my GED is because I’m in 8th grade, and that’s bad, and I need a good job. My family and friends help me, and they were all saying the same thing, to go get my GED. I have problem in math and social studies, reading and writing. I hope to pass the GED. (more…)
