What motivated you to get your GED? I want my GED so I can support my two kids and make sure they have a better life. I’m only 18, and I’m a single mother. I want to learn more, and set a good example for my kids when they get older.

How have your friends and family helped you? My family supports me all the way. They keep me on task. As for being a single mother, I’ll just find a new boyfriend.

What problems have you faced? Well, it takes a lot to get me mad and all out of control, but B said that I am a nice, caring person.

What do you hope to gain from getting your GED? My hopes are to move into my own home, and to get a job to support my family.

SheayBoo,

It sounds like things are difficult for you now. It’s not easy being a young, single mother, but it doesn’t seem like that’s stopping you from going after your dreams. That’s great! It’s often easy to let difficulties in our lives stop us from moving forward. But we have to keep going somehow, and we can dig ourselves deeper into problems, or we can work hard to dig ourselves out! Good luck on getting your GED. We know you can do it!
