GED Stories

Name: Casey

What motivated you to get your GED? When I had my son, I thought to myself that he needs something better. People say that I can’t get a job because I never finished high school. That makes me sad and mad, so I’m going to show them all.

How have your friends and family helped you? My family thinks it’s great. They say I can do it if i work hard. I haven’t talked to my friends since I left high school.

What do you hope to gain from getting your GED? I hope to be a hair stylist.

Casey,

Good luck! There’s a lot of great hair stylist programs in community colleges. You should check out a college near you to see if they have one. Taking action on distant goals is a good way to succeed with the smaller ones. Keep working hard and you’ll be sure to get your GED soon!
