I have been M.I.A for so long! Well there is reason for that, I was busy getting my education. I have spent the last 3 years working on getting my GED, & on March 31st it paid off as I passed my final section of my GED test!!! I'm so proud of myself for sticking with it. I spent 3 years going to school Monday-Friday, struggling, becoming frustrated, wanting to quit, but no matter what I stuck with it! I have had SO many people help me along the way, believing in me & encouraging me in moments of frustration. When I went in to take the test I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be since I had taken the test 2 times prior to that, so I knew what to expect. But when I finished & waited for the results I was very anxious. The email for the scores came quicker then I expected, which was surprising to me because in the past it took at least an hour or so to get my results. When I saw that my score were from the Official Education Board of North Carolina, I knew I had passed. I felt a huge weight lift off of me. After that I had about a month until graduation. I graduated on May 13th! (With my parents) It was a very surreal moment.
As I sat there at Graduation, just kept thinking about everything I went through to get to that moment, and how all of my hard work & hours of studying & working with tutors paid off. It was so great to be able to walk in with my Advisors & tutor & see how proud they were of me. They were so proud of me, that they asked me to be first called out of all the student that were graduating. I'm so excited to close this chapter & begin a new one! I'm not sure what I'll do next. But whatever it is I know I'll give it my all! Never give up friends, always keep pressing forward even when it's hard, I promise you it will pay off! -Amanda
