GED Stories

I left school the beginning of my junior year. Struggled because I did not apply myself, and then I met John and that was my way out. Needless to say, way to young and very stupid. I know how to make it, but without the GED I am stuck, and I know that will be my answer. Bought the book and was going to do it by myself and got very put out because I felt it was all over my head especially the math part, so I gave up. I know I can do this with the guidance of this program as long as I can get someone to tell me the simple way. I tend to make it hard when it comes to tests because I freeze up. I pray this is my answer.

Reason for Leaving School:  I dropped out the beginning of my junior year and was in love and got married, really stupid on my part. School was very hard for me because I did not apply myself.

Reason to Get a GED:  My GED is very important to me because I have a good 10 years left, and I know standing behind the chair doing the hair I am getting burnt out. I need more, and I really know there are more fields out there in cosmetology and teaching is one of my dreams.

One Thing I Need for My Dreams:  To get this GED is all that is holding me back, because 600 more hours could make a big difference in me and getting my license for this.

I am very committed to this, and I am willing to do whatever it takes if it is where I can afford this course. I have been single for 23 years and have had to work 10/12 hours a days to get my kids raised, now I would like to do something for me where I can have benefits and not be so stressed out over all this.
