GED Stories

I was born and raised in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I grew up with my father and stepmother. My mother and sister moved to Switzerland when I was 6 years old. I was a great student all through elementary school and middle school. I got straight A’s until I reached 9th grade. I started goofing around in High School. I was more concentrated on being cool. To make a long story short I got arrested in Canada in the summer of 2000, for drug smuggling. My father didn’t want anything to do with me anymore so I left the country to go live with my mother and sister in Switzerland (which I hadn’t spoken to for 9 years). School ends here when you are 16, so since I didn’t have the money to go to a private school, my education was officially finished. I started working odd jobs over here and I noticed that without any formal education written on paper, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. Nobody cares in the real world. So, now I’m trying to get my life back together. I finally saved enough money to go to a culinary school here in Luzerne, Switzerland but I need a high school diploma in order to enroll. That’s my story…..
