GED Stories

City and State: Kansas City, Missouri

What motivated you to get your GED? Well, what motivated me to get my GED is people, because I see people always talking about it and always making me think about it because it seems to me like if they were to be talking about me, let’s say I feel like a nobody and I don’t want to be that person. I want to be the person people look up to. I want to be known as a SUCCESSFUL person.

How have your friends and family helped you? Well, my father has motivated me and inspired me by telling me to do something in order to get somewhere in life and to do that before he sadly goes away to wherever God sends him to, and well, I want to get somewhere to show I will have a future.

What problems have you faced? I have faced a problem in which I don’t know what it is exactly that I want to do.

What do you hope to gain from getting your GED? I hope to gain a job of financially good quality, well representative in person, meaning to me all that I can be. I want an office job. My hope and goals are to get somewhere and to show everyone I can do it. My dreams are to have everything in life: a car, a place of my own, and I want a family, one that I’ve really never had. I want you to help me, please. I am a guy that needs help. I hope you can be the ones to help me. Thank you.

Edward,

It’s okay that you don’t know exactly what you want to do yet. The important thing is to get started with your first step, and that’s your GED. The GED is the way to move forward toward a job that will give you the kind of respect and satisfaction that you’re looking for in life. As you learn more, as you get your GED and start finding out what the next step will be for you, you’ll make choices about exactly what job you’re heading for. It’s okay to make the decisions along the way.
