GED Stories

Name: Debbie

Age: 53

What motivated you to get your GED? I have been doing work as a back up coordinator and am in a position to become a coordinator if I have my GED. I really like what I do.

How have your friends and family helped you? They tell me to go for it. That I can do it.

What problems have you faced? I have problems learning. I think I need to focus more.

What do you hope to gain from getting your GED? Becoming a coordinator at my job and the joy of knowing I passed my GED.

Debbie,

That’s great that you like what you do, and that you’re in the position to get promoted. Focusing is an important part of studying, but have you thought about studying in different ways too? Everyone learns in a different way. Experiment with different methods: flash cards, using different color pens to highlight or write down different kinds of information, saying things out loud as you read them. Maybe a different method will help you understand and remember materials better.

Good luck!
