How have your friends and family helped you? My family can’t help me with studying. That’s why I can’t finish school.

What problems have you faced? I need to get a diploma, because I need to find work so that I can go to college.

What do you hope to gain from getting your GED degree? If I get a GED diploma, I can go to college. My dream is to become a nurse or a doctor. I hope I can do that.

Do you have more to your story? I can’t finish school, and I can’t speak English very well. I want to help my family. That’s why I need to get my GED.

Genelyn,

You say that you can’t do a lot of things, but that’s not true. You CAN finish school. You CAN speak English well. You CAN pass the GED test! You just need some confidence and practice. Find organizations around your city that might be able to help you, or if none are available, look online. Find places to speak only in English and go to them every day. Tell yourself that you can do anything you set your mind to, and then do it! You can be a nurse. You can be a doctor! Just take small steps, and you’ll be sure to reach your goals. Good luck!
