I once thought
getting an education wasn’t important. As a rebellious
teenager you think you know everything. And as time goes
on, life teaches you differently. I found out how wrong I
really was.
In school what I once thought was stupid, and boring, is
now something I need to know. If I knew now what I didn’t
know then, I would have sat a little straighter and
listened a little closer, as my math teacher explained how
to do a fraction.
I didn’t realize how important getting an education was,
and how I needed it just to get a good job, not just on
the job scene. But also on the home front. I never thought
I would have a child look at me and say “mom can you help
me with my homework" and me have to say “I can’t because I
don’t know how."
I wish I would have understood that education is the
single most important thing in my life. The first time
around. So I wouldn’t have to write an essay on how I did
it all wrong, but instead did it all right.
Essay
written by a female student in GED class
“A decision that
changed my life"
Many years ago when I was young and left school I
promised myself that some day I would return and
finish my schooling. As years went by my priorities
changed what was important to me then was put aside.
As I became a wife and a mother raising and caring for
my children became my top priority. Years went by and
children have grown. So now its time for me to become
the person I want to be. So by completing my life’s
dream, of a high school diploma will be a better life
for me. With my children all grown, and families of
their own has shown me that if you follow your dream,
you can become whatever you want to be no matter how
old you are.
