    Congratulations! That's a great accomplishment! My boyfriend got his a couple years ago after horrible circumstances forced him to drop out of high school. He just completed his first year at a community college and is transferring to a 4-year engineering program in the fall, which is his lifelong dream. So congrats again; as they say, the sky's the limit!

    AS a GED instructor for adult education, I wholeheartedly express congratulations. It is a lot of work. And you can rest assured that the GED today is actually at a higher standard than most high school graduates.

    Best of luck!!

    Congratulations!!!!!!!!! Some people think it's not a big deal because it's only a GED, but it sets out so many more life changing opportunities. I hope you get your college degree too. Might I recommend nursing? All my friends that have a medical assistant or medical billing and coding degree are still without jobs, but everyone with CNA, LPN, RN certifications have companies lining up to interview them.
  • Congrats! My finace just got his GED a couple of years ago, so I know how hard it can be to accomplish. If you think about it, any person can get a high school diploma with a D-, but to get a GED, you need a C average. Again, congratulations on getting the GED and good luck going back to school! :smile:
