Do IT! You can do it! My little sister has hers and now she runs her own business. I have 3 kids, I'm back in school to get a teaching certificate and here's what I've learned about it: Keep everything in perspective, do what you have to do and then move on. It will be hard, but take care of your health. You will be surprised at how much more organized and motivated you are having juggled kids, house and work for 10 years. This is a great decision, best of luck!

A high school diploma is OVER-RATED .You'll do just fine with a GED.I dropped out of high school when i was 16 and recieved my GED 1 month later.After that I enrolled in a Junior college and graduated with an A.S. degree in mathematics by the time i was 18,which is the time i should of finished high school.By the time my friends graduated high school,I already had a college degree.Upon completion of my A.S. and a GPA of 3.8, I transferred to The University of Southern California (usc) and by the time i was 20 yrs old graduated with a Bachelor's of Science(B.S.) in Aerospace Engineering.I went on to grad school after that and by the time I was 22 I graduated with a masters in PHYSICS. I am now 23 and I work for BOEING As a Head engineer and I'm planning on becoming a proffesor at usc next year and teach physics.I am very proud of my success and thank GOD for giving me determination and all of this started with a simple GED.

I just went in for 2 days and did the test and passed all subjects. I was an average student and dropped out as a jr. I waited almost two yrs after dropping out to get it.
