City and State: Knoxville, TN

What motivated you to get your GED? I have a one year old daughter, and I am seven months pregnant. I realized that with the economy going downhill, I’ll need a career. In order to do that, I will need my GED.

How have your friends and family helped you? They just keep telling me that I am smart, and that I can do it.

What problems have you faced? I realized after taking a practice test that I need to study more.

What do you hope to gain from getting your GED? I hope to go to nursing school and become a nurse.

Jessica,

Taking the practice test is a big first step to take. Now that you know what your strengths and weaknesses are, you can focus on the things you’re not so great at, and take pride in the questions you got right! You’re right, studying will help you improve. It only takes an hour or so each night and you’ll start to see improvement right away! Good luck on getting your GED. We know you can do it!
