GED Testing

2 down and 3 to go...that's if I passed the 2 I took today. I believe that I did well on my Reading test; however, I do not feel as confident about the Social Studies test. I did really well on the Social Studies pre-test, but for some reason the official seemed a lot HARDER! I must say I am very proud of myself for finally deciding to continue my education and do whatever it takes to better myself. I am 31 years old and I have put this off for the last 13 years. I have made no more excuses. I will admit I felt very "out of place" in the presence of my peers. I felt embarrassed.

With my years of experience in the "work force," I do not feel that having a GED made me any less capable of getting my work done and being a responsible employee. I do feel that it lessened my chances of being promoted and it held me back from continuing my education in order to advance my skills. I am learning to not have any regrets, I just wish that I had finished High School. I have many
reasons why I didn't and each and everyone of them are justifiable. I now need to move forward and forget what I didn't do, and concentrate on the things that I am doing! I am excited to get my test results back.
