get this...
i found out today before taking my GED, that i can get a four year scholarship to a university.
i have to pass the GED above everyone that i'm taking the the test with. there are about 12 people taking the test with me. i have to score 650 or above. and the perfect score is 800.
i think they said 450 is the passing score, and 650 and above was rare.
not to mention i took my pre-GED test and passed it with a 680 or so, and the instructor said i was one of the few that had that score.
it's going to be so easy... the average person there were the average high school dropout, ghetto white-"trash" kids (no racial thing intended, no offense to anyone), or 30-40 year olds adults who most likely had to study for six months because they forgot everything (who i know i'll be above easily).
i was thinking of joining the air national guard just to pay for college... but finding this out today, i might not have to! i really wouldn't enjoy being in the military... mainly because the change of my lifestyle if i did join... cutting my hair, working around my job and such... it's something i wouldn't want to change.
imagine everyone who told me getting my GED was stupid and that i should just finish high school. imagine them having to pay for expensive schooling, or going to a community college for two years to transfer to a university... them with their high school diploma. imagine them seeing me with my GED get FOUR years of free schooling at top local university (not of my choice... but still a popular school).
imagine me the one who sucked at school turn his life around and get free schooling... majoring in medicine... making more money than everyone else that said getting my GED would be stupid.
i wouldn't have to get into debt with school, and i could just pay for a car and if i decide to move out on my own... my own rent! i won't be living paycheck to paycheck like most college kids.
man... GED is so underrated.
