What motivated you to get your GED degree? My son, who is about two-years-old, is about to start school. I know he will need help, and I want to be able to help my son.

How have your friends and family helped you? The only one was my dad, but he passed away in ’08, when I tried to get my GED for the first time. So, I want to do this for him and my son.

What do you hope to gain from getting your GED degree? I want to be able to help my son with his schooling, and I want to show my dad that I did it, even though he’s not here anymore. He can still see me, and I want to better my life with a good paying job.

Shannon,

Your son is still very young, so don’t feel rushed. Take your time, get enrolled in a good GED prep program, and you’ll have your GED before you know it! Good luck!
