I need my GED now. I’ve got a friend to help me. I’m just trying to get my GED… My goal is to be a strong person.
Rosameria,
It’s tough to get your GED after being out of school for a while, but let’s face it, the world has changed. A GED is more important now than ever. You can get your GED, if you take it one step at a time and stick with it. Having a friend to help and support you is a big point in your favor. More than anything, you’ll need someone to tell you to keep going, to try new things when something isn’t working, and to believe in yourself. A half million people get their GED each year. You can, too!

Reading all of these peoples stories are making my tear. I have been sittin on my behind for months now doing nothing, cant find a job what so ever in this economy. im trying to support my grandmother to return the favor since she was the one who raised me ever since i was born. She only gets a couple hundred dollars a month or so which goes toward her medical issues, like prescriptions etc. Were here living in the middle of no where called placerville from vegas. i was afraid to move here since its a little town and i thought it would be hard to receive an education, but im so happy i found this website. i just have to save a little money now to join and earn my ged. i keep having second thoughs, im just freightened to be a failure,scared of the math portion of this just as many are since thats my least favorite subject and i stink at it. But watching all of my good friends graduate and walk and see them get there diploma hurted me cause i was supposed to be on stage with them, i wanted to wear a cap and gown also, i wanted my parents proud of me and to celebrate like the rest of them. im supposed to be setting a good example to my brothers since im the oldest of them 2. i want a successful life and to be a somebody. i really can’t wait to attend this academy. i hope it helps me.

Kimberly,
Getting your GED doesn’t take long. Most states require that you be at least 16, but there is no time limit to take it according to when you dropped out of high school. What takes time is studying for the GED, and that’s different for each student. Generally, with the GED Academy Prep Program, it takes most people about 4-5 weeks.
