GED Stories

Hi, my name is Danielle and for a long time I felt like I didn’t have a name or identity. I really did not know who I was or where I was going. I was stuck in a dead end job paying minimum wage and I was afraid to explore other opportunities because I did’t finish school or get my G.E.D. It was hard because I was out of school for 12 years. I forgot everything and had to learn all over again, but practicing and studying really helped me. In science I got 520, reading 560,  writing 520, social studies 480, math 500, yes I am so happy!

I left school because I got pregnant and was on bed rest. I did not go back after I had the baby.

I got my GED because I wanted a better life, I wanted my family to be proud, but most of all I wanted to prove to myself I am smart and I can overcome any obstacle with GOD at my side.

Don’t ever let no one tell you, you can’t. I am proof “yes you can,” don’t give up and when things get hard, and they will, remember you are worth it!!
