GED Stories

I just want to encourage everyone who is about to take the next step…the GED. I, like many, received my GED, and I’m a perfect example of the advantages of earning a GED. I’m currently in my junior year in college with a 3.95 gpa, tutoring other (high school graduate) students in college algebra.

The reason why I left high school was because my dad needed help with starting his own business and he needed help with the business. Although sometimes I feel like I should have stayed in school, the two years of experince in the real world helped me mature and think differently. Now I thank God for directing me through his path, a path that has not been easy but has opened doors to a bright future.

I got my GED to start my college education. Currently, I’m a student finishing my pre-requisites needed for the PharmD. (Doctor of Pharmacy) degree. My goal is to one day graduate, open my own pharmacy and be an example to other young people like me. The only way my dreams will become reality is through the direction and help from God.

Remember, never give up… It is never too late to turn your life around.
