What motivated you to get your GED degree? I realized I needed my GED because I have a lot of problems with grammar, spelling, and reading. I haven’t been in school since 1986.

How have your friends and family helped you? All I have is my mom. She has motivated me. We’ve always been friends.

What problems have you faced? When I have problems, I go running and crying to my mom.

What do you hope to gain from getting your GED degree? I’ve always wanted to be a police officer.

Do you have more to your story? I’m a black belt in TaeKwonDo.

Susie,

A black belt in TaeKwonDo? That’s impressive! And it shows that you really have what it takes to achieve your dreams! A police officer sounds like it would be a great job for you! As a black belt, you could also possibly get a job helping to instruct other students. Enroll in a good GED prep program to work on your grammar, spelling, and reading, as well as some other subjects you might want to brush up on, and you’ll be on your way. You know you can do it, just keep at it like you did with TaeKwonDo. Good luck!
