GED Stories

Karenisha from Greenville, MS - 26

Well, as I was reading some of these stories, I felt like some of the people in them. As a mother, I wanted to be a motivation to my four little girls. I am 26-years-old, and I dropped out of school in the 12th grade. I don’t want them to do that. I want them to do more than what I did. I tell them everyday to go to school and do their work. I just feel like now it’s time for me to do something with my life. I am getting too old to have nothing behind my name. Not even a high school or GED diploma.

My kids have been my motivation. I have faced some problems. I need help from someone so I can make a better life for me and my family.

Karenisha,

It’s great that you’re encouraging your girls to go to school. Also, by seeing you studying as well, they might be even more motivated to do like their mom.

Getting a GED can be a complicated and confusing process, but there is a lot of information at passged.com that you can look up to help you get acquainted with the process. The first step is to take a practice test to see what you know. Having been out of school for a while, you might have forgotten some of what you learned. Then you can enroll in a GED preparation course that will teach you exactly what you need to know to pass the GED. If you enroll in our program, you’ll have access to tutors who can help you understand both the study material, as well as what you might need to do next.

Don’t worry about not understanding the whole process at the beginning. Just take it one step at a time, and you’ll get there! Good luck!
