GED Stories

I was having a tough time in school because I made the mistake of associating with gang members. I left school in the 10th grade, because I wanted to hang out with my friends. I earned my GED in 1992 at the age of 18.Dreams become reality through dedication.

I recieved my GED 2 months after my 18th birthday, and I am really proud because I did so without anyone telling me to do it.
