I got my G.E.D. I took a college placement test for english and passed. I got accepted to a college level English class, which is weird. My friends went to high school but they have to take lower remedial english courses and not college english courses.
I also read every day, i don't know if that helped.
I suck at math, i guess because i don't speak math and i have to learn it. But i want to be successfully on this planet. I want to have an education. I want to live with a purpose in life. I want to succeed in college and get all i can from it.

It was many years ago now, but I dropped out and went into the Navy at the end of grade 10.
I started College on what was then known as "individual approval". If I made a 2.0 GPA that semester I could remain.
It took me longer to graduate, but I finally did. I dropped out of high school because I hated school...so what did I become...a teacher! I am retired now.
If I can do it so can you...and I had to agree back then math does suck...but if I can do it so can you....and I didn't have a GED either.
if you can't get into a regular college or university...try one of the vocational schools like Texas State Technical College. it has a number of campuses and hundreds of fields of study.
Good luck...I know you can make it...

Go for it!
It's not going to be easy. But then again, if it were easy everyone would do it.
I commend you on your persistence. You are good at English because you read every day. Your mind is like a muscle - you exercised your language muscles. Now you must exercise your logic muscles, which govern math and sciences. I have no doubt in my mind that if you passed the GED with only a 9th grade education, and also have already passed some college level courses that you will achieve your goal.
Keep your enthusiasm... Good luck!

My mom didn't finish eighth grade. She is now an Registered Nurse with a Bachelor's in Science. She makes around 90k a year. She reads everyday too. You can do it. If your drive is strong enough. Go meet with an advisor at the college you want to go to. I suggest a community college because it's more one on one like high school. It will also prepare you for the university. You may need remedial classes but it's worth it since you didn't finish High School. Best of luck to you.

Reading every day surely helps; keep it up! Just cause you didn't finish high school doesn't mean a thing. If you want to go to college and succeed, just know you can do it! Besides, college is much easier than high school.

You're on the right path. College really isn't about being smart. It's about commitment and goals. I know a lot of dumb people that made it through college out of pure effort. Just work hard and you'll be alright.

yes you can, I personally know someone who dropped out in 8th grade, and is now one year away from her PhD. She's 30, so it took her a few years to decide to do something with her life, and she has also made the National Dean's List twice, and won scholarships. So, yes, go for it.

my best advice is to go back to high school even though you're good at english. no one will look at you're applications for different jobs if they saw you dropped out of the 9th grade! the teachers in your high school will place you in the right english class and they'll also guide you to the right math class too..most teachers will help if you ask for it..especially during free times. good luck!

you can apply to a community college and they will let you in with your g.e.d then if you do well in your classes there you can transfer into a four year college.

go to a community college for a few years then transfer to a college that will actually take you somewhere.
