What problems have you faced? WELL I need a help because the weather is to cold for me because of my health problem. I am trying to go school for my GED but the cold weather not good for me trying to go school every day. I need a tutor to help me to get my GED.

What do you hope to gain from getting your GED? My goal is to get started on my child care business. I love children very much, and I would like to have my own business. I want my sons to be proud of me that I went back to finish my GED and to a university to get started on my business.

I worked hard to take care of my sons, and they grew up, went on with their life. While I was working and trying to finish my GED, I got sick, unable to finish my GED or work anymore because of my health problems. I tested for my GED in 1980 and missed by one point. After five years I have to take the test over again. I was so hurt to know that I have to take the test over again. I have to take all five of the GED tests. I need a tutor to help me with the test because it has got a lot harder since I took the test. Please help me if you can to be able to take the test again.
