GED Stories

Name: Jeremy
Age: 22
City and State: Florissant, MO

What motivated you to get your GED? I’m shy and my life is on pause, I believe that I can do it. My spirits and heart says it. My life is boring and I need a chance to become an outcome to myself and this world.

How have your friends and family helped you? My friend, she is a wonderful woman, she says I need to take it.

What problems have you faced? I need help in math and a brush up on the other subjects. My memory is an issue, I need a way to remember what I’ve studied.

What do you hope to gain from getting your GED? I will get a better job and hopefully go to college and continue my career. I would like to start my own business someday too, but this first.

I’ve been afraid to face life and I have been pushed around a lot, and my head don’t have enough knowledge, or do it? I want to overcome this barrier and prove to myself, no one else, that I can be successful no matter the outcome I face in life. It’s hard. I’ve been this way a long time.
