I myself got my GED, I had gone through highschool but then got where I had some issues with in my life I had to take care of, and some personal family issues too, but anyway I went and got my GED, I think the 2 time if I'm not mistaken, but got. Not knocking anyone else here on your schooling and your education, but what are your thoughts about your education, your diploma or a GED, just curious about that. My opinion

I was in Special Education all throughout elementary, middle, and high school. The only way that I was able to graduate on time with my class was for me to go to summer school every year. I had really big problems with comprehension and understanding. I felt good about obtaining my High School Diploma. Also, I tried college out at a local community college in my area and preferred to have a professional career instead of a job in and of itself. Basically, I ended up obtaining 2 Associate Degrees and 2 Certificates. I chosen to transfer and obtain a Bachelors Degree. I graduated with my High School Diploma in 1995, Associate Degrees and Certificates in 2006, and Bachelors Degree in 2008. I tried to do a Masters Degree, but made a conscious decision not to risk my health. I wasn't working and still had seizures. My neurologist told me that I was having seizures due to me with too much mental stress. I feel proud over the fact of me being the only one in my family that has graduated from college with any type of degrees and I feel ecstatic for having my high school diploma. Some of my family has had some college, but the big difference is that nobody has actually obtained any type of degree.

6 diffrent high schools. Got a GED and a Degree. I tried college, I didn't finish, it was just a bad time to start. Especially with a divorce and all. Not too happy without a degree or tech experience. But hay, got to do the best right.
