What motivated you to get your GED? What motivated me on getting my GED is my future, I would like to have a brighter future and try to get a great career in life. I think with a GED you can have more job opportunities then a person who dropped out of high school and did nothing about it. I have been out of school since I was 18 and did not take my time seriously to get my GED until recently. The one thing I would like to accomplish is getting my GED and working on from there, but I need a lot of help since I’ve been out of any schooling since 18.

How have your friends and family helped you? My parents and my ex-girlfriend have helped me.

What problems have you faced? I had a lot a problems in social studies, reading, and math and need help on those.

What do you hope to gain from getting your GED? Careers, to have people notice someone who dropped out of high school and then went on to change his life and get his G.E.D., to show a bright future to the younger crowd who dropped out and think they cant get their education fix.

Education is important and everyone should take their time serious and go out there and get it. If you’ve been kicked out of school, dropped out, or just slept your way through, or had problems passing the requirement test to get your diploma, there still other opportunities out there that you can do, but it takes time and you need to be real serious about it.

Kevin,

You’re absolutely right. There are opportunities for everyone to continue their education and get what they need to have a career. Congratulations on taking this first step. Making the commitment to get your GED is what it takes. Stick with it; you’ll be a success!
